2.2g/kg/day is pretty high. Muscle protein synth tapers off around 25g per meal (every ~3rs) so I'd have to be snacking like crazy to hit 2.2/g/kg/day. I'll stick with the sports science version of 1.6/g/kg/day which for me is about 6 x 24g protein hits per day, much more reasonable. Not that I'm anywhere near that normally.

2.2 grams per kg if you are cutting really hard, tried and tested by starving bodybuilders everywhere.
However...they are also very very lean already. If you are already unhappy with food choices, then going lower may be better. The best diet is the one you can stick to.
