Lived experience sits next to the community vote. Official sources never override either.
This is everywhere in the GLP-1 and reta threads right now. People are treating one gram per pound as the only thing standing between you and losing all your muscle once the appetite disappears.

High protein in a big deficit is a reasonable way to try to keep muscle. Turning it into a hard one-gram-per-pound law, and saying you'll lose all of it if you miss, is the scare version of that idea.
The journey posts obsess over protein shakes because hunger just vanishes and people stop eating. That's a real problem. It still isn't proof that missing the number wipes out your lean mass.
If someone can barely eat, hitting that target every day may not even be realistic. I'd rather see actual protein intake and a strength log than a slogan.
