re: How much protein should I be taking in?

protein isnt the place to cut. its fat and carbs. protein has a muscle sparing effect and has by far the biggest effect on dietary induced thermogenesis.
for you, start at 150g and actually raise that as you cut calories or replace carb/fat calories with protien.
once you are at 60-65% of calories from protein....pretty much maxed out benefits unless you are doing a psmf.

I’m 160 lbs and eating about 2,700 calories a day trying to gain. That would be about 350g of protein.
