I have seen studies talking about 3-4g per lbs, but 2g per lbs is something that has been established long term, over many decades.
But if you have health issues, thats another story. I would still consider talking to a nutrition expert/doctor, because regular doctors don't know much about this stuff, just the general stuff what they learned in school, but they barely follow any new studies.
