Nothing new but its nice to see additional confirmation.
According to the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) established by the Institute of Medicine, the average adult should consume approximately 50 grams of protein per day if they're eating a 2,000-calorie diet. For the average person reading this, if you're consuming more than that recommendation, you're consuming the wrong amount of protein—too much of it.

Tina Marinaccio, MS, RD, CPT, an integrative culinary registered dietitian nutritionist with Health Dynamics, LLC, explains that, for people with an average level of physical activity, this translates to approximately 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight. For those who are very physically active, up to 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight may be required to support their lean body mass.

I'm not sure they should have included that part about "up to 2 grams". I think this is where you need to change the thinking from grams to % of calories. If you are physically active - you need more calories - and thus you get more protein without even trying.
