0.6-0.8g protein per lb of bodyweight
Split your calories however you like between however many meals and snacks works for you.
But how do I split my protein? what's the maximum I should be having at any one time? (don't want to use too much protein powder etc, that stuffs expensive!).
it doesn't really matter, I've never taken much notice of it, other than making sure i get 'enough' for me so that i am not hungry.
unless you're eating 200g of protein in one go, i dont think you're going to get to the levels of 'too much'3
