"296 calories in protein, as average, would be 74 grams, right? Should we say... something more than 1 gram per Kg, roughly?"
I'm not sure at all. I still remember the experience of a friend of mine who was piloting a longhaul from Toronto to Italy at Christmas. He got to abort point and was gobs short of V1. Turned out the average weight of his Italian passengers was 240 lb, and Canadian regs assumed 160!
As you might gather from my memory of the incident being in pounds, this was a lot closer to 1960 than to today :-(
I'd really like to find weight data compatible with the Euratom surveys.

How do you guys explain that someone with more fat needs more protein? Does fat somehow increase the protein requirements? - I don't think so. (I am not talking about controlling blood sugar and insulin levels now.)

Dunno. Dr Sears says obese people need some more protein as they have to lift their own weight.... 🙂
