Subject: Plant protein and human requirements for protein

Hi,

Humans are encouraged to eat well balanced meals, i.e. protein, 
carbohydrates, and fat.  Aside from minerals and certain other 
micronutrients offered by plants, are they adequate sources of 
calories and/or protein?

I've heard that some body builders eat as much as 1 gm of protein 
per lb of BW.  This seems like a lot.  Why would a body builder 
require such a diet?

Thanks
