amount of protein needed

HI,
I have a question about the right amount of protein needed to support my lbm. I have read that you should eat 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of lbm. However, I have also read Dr. Sears, and he recommends blocks. my confusion stems from this vast difference. if i were to follow Sears my daily block intake, calculated from the low 1 gram/pound would be 170gms per day which is around 24 blocks of protein, more then recommened for elite athletes?
Is my logic or information faulty? I'd appreciate any clarification about this.
THanks!
