Does protein requirement standards need to change or does it take this into account?

If 20% to 30% of protein you consumed is used to help digest it then don't you need more protein?

So if you consume 800 calories worth of protein or 200 grams of protein a day then you will only be really using 560 - 640 of those calories.

It doesn't really affect low amount of protein intake but it does for higher protein intake.















"Protein takes the most energy to digest (20-30% of total calories in protein eaten go to digesting it). Next is carbohydrates (5-10%) and then fats (0-3%). Thus, if you eat 100 calories from protein, your body uses 20-30 of those calories to digest and absorb the protein. You'd be left with a net 70-80 calories"
