Can you explain what you think is confusing about 1g per 1lb?

I suspect you're cargo culting "never mix units!" without realizing that the advice is talking about denominating the same thing in different units (thus having to do conversion).

I'd be curious to see your explanation of the mind bending and error prone nature of "ok, I weigh 200lbs and now I will ensure I get 200g of protein today" and the exact scenario where you think it would pose a problem. Frankly I think you'd realize it doesn't exist.

Because if you're in a country that measures in metric you have to convert one side from imperial, and if you're in a country that measures in imperial you have to convert one side from metric.
