How many fitness professionals know what the current RDI for protein is (for an athlete, male and female?)

Hello Lisa,
I have heard of all the answers already posted.
I will add that scientific information says that 0.8 g/kg protein per day is probably enough for athletes as well as the general public (IOM Food and Energy Board, 2005). This amount is the minimum, not necessarily the ideal or maximum.
Once more, it seems that nutrition is still under debate.
