This is just not true. 1.2-1.8 Grams per Kilogram of body weight is more than adequate for sufficient muscle regeneration. The average american diet gets in 4x the amount of protein than is required, and bodybuilders who buy into the hype get far, far more than is required. Given proper diet, there is ZERO need for any suppliments, at all. None. Protein powders are generally much harder to absorb and contain incomplete proteins, and if you count on just incomplete proteins there is no point in taking it at all, your body will not metabolise it. If you notice, in bodybuilding and fitness magazines they recomend vast amounts of protein in suppliment form...but what kind of advertisements are on every other page? Protein suppliment companies. They cater to their advertisers, not their audience. The rest of your advice is sound though
