I'm finding it pretty difficult to get in the "recommended" grams of protein each day. I'm 235 lb right now and can barely crack 150 grams at the end of the day. I hate eating just to eat. Do you guys take in your body weight each day? Have you upped or lowered your intake and noticed significant results whether positive or negative? Interested in hearing everyone's experiences and bro science. I'll hang up and listen while I work out .

You have to plan to break 150 if you are on any kind of calorie restriction. Bulking = no problem
Cutting is a different story.

I've always wondered what the adequate intake of protein is per person. Right now, I get right at 100 grams with 2 protein shakes (Gold Standard), another 15 from a container of yogurt, and then add in whatever else I eat throughout the day. I guess I end up around 150 grams as well, maybe more depending on how much I eat and what I eat.

1 post workout protein shake is 60 grams. Its pretty easy to get 200 grams. I don't try to hit a certain number bc I do have a high protein (clean) diet

The whole "one gram of protein" per body weight is way overrated. I've read studies that say 1/2 gram per pound is adequate and more than that will not build muscle any faster or better.

your body is not going to use all of that protein. unless you have a fast metabolism, your body is taking that extra protein and storing it as fat
