Hello! I've been eating more protein lately - now that I'm closer to maintenance it's been very easy to get 80-120g every day the last few weeks. I weigh about 147lb right now, and have not been lifting. I'm inbetween gyms and am hoping to find a new one so that I can get started. So my question is - should I eat less protein while I'm not exercising?

    I would say keep eating protein. It helps to keep you full and nourished. That doesn't sound like an extremely high amount...so i don't think you have an issue of eating too much protein. So long as it fits in your calorie limit, you'll still hit your weight goals. It's calories in, calories out. :)

    Okay great, thanks! I never quite knew what "a lot of protein" is for my weight, which is why I had to double check.
