Eating 76 kilograms of protein seems slightly excessive, would change my body drastically no doubt. /s

They might be referencing the rough math for daily protein consumption. It works out to about 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight for men and half a gram per pound for women.

This is a pretty common calculation for people who track protien intake in the US, since most people weigh themselves in pounds, and most nutritional information is provided in grams.
