Our body function more like a recycling depot; instead of a factory. It only needs little bit of new protein from food intake each day. Most of our protein need is from autophagy (cell recycling).

Our body can indeed also function like a factory where you add more protein and you get bigger muscle. However, that is a dangerous path. We must allow our body to work as a recycling depot for most of the time because all the toxin, old cells, damage cells, cancer cells, should all get removed. The "real" question should be.... Where do you get your fiber? I never seen anyone ever with protein deficiency. Yet, I see 75% of people are suffering fiber deficiency with all kinds of health condition, low energy, and low immune function.
Anyone with frailty or mobility problems at its essence is likely to be what could be described as LBM deficient, a (potentially fatal) condition arguably caused by a diet deficient in protein and/or a workout routine deficient in RT components.
On the ZC part of the spectrum, athletes are showing the minimum amount of fiber people can literally thrive on is zero.
As such, fiber deficiency aparently doesn't exist in the absence of carbohydrates, while protein deficiency is a reality independent of other dietary choices. Successfully vegan athletes show that all that is needed to compete against omnivores is the abundant use of plant based high protein foods.
