What I've read through paleo, low-carb, body-building, and
other sources leads me to believe in 1 gram of protein per
pound of body weight (or 2.2 g per kg). Too much protein
will make you nauseous and sick. Too little will not give
much satisfaction or satiety. Fat also helps make us feel
full for longer. I'd say about 1 gram of fat per gram of
protein, give or take.

I also think we need roughly twice as much animal fat as
animal protein (by calories). Eating less causes vitamin
and mineral deficiencies. We need fat-soluble vitamins in
shellfish, eggs, liver, or raw dairy (no heating, except
100-104 F used for culturing cheese). Most "raw" cheeses
sold commercially, such as Organic Pastures, reach temps
of 135-155 F.
