Only one calorie out of every ten we take in needs to come from protein ( http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?isbn=0309085373) . Athletes do not need much more protein than the general public ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11145214)

The RDA recommendation is 0.8 grams of protein for every kilogram  that we weigh. For Rob this would be 85g ie 340 calories. I think he was consuming 2900 calories, so that comes down to about 11.7% protein.
