Extrapolating positive longevity effects from protein restriction studies in mice to humans is questionable because mice do not develop sarcopenia to the same extent or in the same way as humans.
⚠ High risk
We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.

“many in the quote unquote longevity Community will say limit your protein and they don't want you to have you know the amino acids like leucine isoleucine and valine the branching amino acids that do trigger muscle protein synthesis and yet so they they're they're sort of encouraging people to become sarcopedic”
“and because mice are not they don't develop sarcopenia to the same extent or in the same way that people do I would worry a bit about extrapolating from that to say that it's going to have those same beneficial effects in people where sarcopenia seems to be much I would I would argue at least much more important for quality of life probably life expectancy but certainly quality of life in in older adults”
