Protein is used for more than just muscle building.
It also boosts your
immune system and provides an energy source for high intensity training
when glycogen gets low.
Sticking to an arbitrary amount of protein
based on bodyweight all the time makes NO SENSE! It should be adjusted
to your needs based on training and recovery requirements.
So take enough protein to make sure you get the best workouts or whatever physical activity you do.

The second sentence of the post speaks serious volumes. A lot of people walk around thinking that every day they should be eating the same amount of protein; this should never be the case as you have stated. I eat about 50 grams less protein on days that I do not train and I usually only increase my protein intake significantly on days when I train larger body parts like legs and back. While I adjust my proteins, carbs, and fats accordingly, the only thing that really stays the same is my water intakes, which stays around around one gallon per day. Great post good sir.
