That may have been from me??
"It has been estimated from isotopic tracer experiments that in a
70 Kg man on an average diet about 400g of protein turns over each
day. Up to 1/4 of this amount undergoes oxidative degradation or
conversion into glucose and is replaced daily from the exogenous
intake: the remaining 3/4 is recycled." [Lehninger, Biochemistry,
1981, p. 559.]
