i don't, and i've never met anybody, who eats 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. back in high school when a lot of my friends were on the wrestling team, some packed on 15+ pounds of muscle and did not eat this ratio. if you're 130 pounds or less, it becomes more reasonable, but if you weigh 150, 160, 170, 180, 200+ then it becomes ridiculous. it is difficult to have a balanced, nutritional diet and get that protein ratio unless you have the resources to purchase a large variety of protein rich foods or you just don't mind eating nothing but chicken breasts and drinking protein powder every day.
i think it may be worth your time to read about protein absorption:

this is just a random article i googled on the subject; i would do more in-depth research if you are serious about attempting this.
