That's starting to change... mostly in that exceeding 14g:1kg ratio mentioned in TFA is being shown to have worse results, so some more recent recommendations are that you need to get enough protein, but not too much.

My own opinion is that you should also get at least 0.5g fat to 1g protein as a baseline... more would be for energy in lieu of carbs.

Isn't protein more like a catalyst than the building block? I.e. muscle is not built primarily from protein, it is built primarily from carbohydrates but protein is a necessary building block.
