Since different sources of protein (per gram) have different percentages of bioavailabity. Wouldn't the amount of protein (g/lbs) vary?

Heres an actual article with link to actual research.

Based on the sound research, many review papers have concluded 0.82g/lb is the upper limit at which protein intake benefits body composition (Phillips & Van Loon, 2011). This recommendation often includes a double 95% confidence level, meaning they took the highest mean intake at which benefits were still observed and then added two standard deviations to that level to make absolutely sure all possible benefits from additional protein intake are utilized. As such, this is already overdoing it and consuming 1g/lb just ‘to be safe’ doesn’t make any sense. 0.82g/lb is already very safe.

Same, sorta. The more ripe my farts, the more likely I am to believe that I'm getting enough protein. If I can't clear a room, from another room mind you, from my farts alone, I'm not getting enough protein.

I think 30g-50g of protein per meal is what is needed if you are doing good strength training.
