    What are everyone’s protein intake goals per day?

    I’m struggling to figure out exactly how much protein I should be intaking (been lifting for years but just started MFP/tracking my calories and nutrients). I’m 130 pounds and trying to gain more lean muscle, and my goal right now is set to around 130 grams per day.

    If you're trying to grow, are you in a calorie surplus?

    I have 130g at the moment too... About 140lbs, in a deficit to lose weight.

    Is that a photo of you by the way!

    Fair enough! I am currently following a progressive overload program. I think lowering my fiber may be key... I keep seeming to go over my daily fiber goal.

    I can't have to much fibre as I have IBS but as a vegan it's a bit tricky but things like peeling apples, swapping quinoa for millet and using psyllium husk caps every day keeps things 'regular' *ahem*

    @jiggyj9 I take protein powder daily, cause otherwise it's kind of tough for me to hit my goal of 1g/lb of weight (currently eating at a deficit to cut down), protein's just too damn satiating and filling for me and it gets a little gross sometimes trying to eat like a giant omlette with a protein shake and a lot of dairy afterwards :D

    I was taking 3-4k IU D3 but it's been getting sunnier so I'm going to bump that down by 1k soon. Otherwise, fish oil/Omega3 as I don't always eat fish and some B complex.
