I don't think I've ever seen anyone make that claim. I sure hope no one is out there making that claim. I surely am not. I'm talking about the way it gets treated in society as if it's somehow "healthy" to be eating massive amounts of protein, especially animal protein. Just pay attention to how it's marketed for everyday foods, including at restaurants.
And yes, in some cases, there are people that may need more protein if they are trying to build/maintain muscle mass. I've seen the documentary w/ Patrik in it. This is hardly typical kinds of intake, though, and I'd wager a lot of people that are eating lots of protein are just overworking their kidneys and pissing most of it out a few hours later. Even athletes.
If I had the ability, I'd actually be curious to measure my own intake vs. waste, much like the author of that Bowflex book I mentioned. This guy was also a body builder...
Most people these days are terribly out of shape, overweight/obese, and have way too much body fat and way too little muscle mass. People eat way too much fat and carbs and way too little protein. They also don’t move nearly enough, of course, so eating protein without doing the work is not going to help.
Since I’ve started lifting weights and trying to build muscle and lose weight, I’ve begun to realize how difficult it is to get enough protein to do that without spending a lot of money on meat or eating a bunch of legumes (and feeling awful all day the next day).
Forget 410 grams per day. It’s hard enough to get 100 grams per day without supplementing.
