You know what...I think you are right. That level of protein is ridiculous.

Just looked this up: The DRI (Dietary Reference Intake) is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, or 0.36 grams per pound. This amounts to: 56 grams per day for the average sedentary man. 46 grams per day for the average sedentary woman.

Thank you so much for posting this, Person0.  I think my nutritionist is nuts! She has insisted on this level of protein repeatedly but ...clearly nuts!

You're welcome.  Also, it's not that that much protein is a bad thing, especially depending on your fitness level.  I sometimes have even more than 75g in a day.  However, it's usually not common to eat that much protein across 3 regular balanced meals.  Here is a 'yuge' info-graphic that shows more ways to get it via meat and non-meat sources alike.  :)
