    50/30/20 here and I'm hitting around 130-150 a day. Lifting days I try to get the higher end of that. I'm eating constantly though... It was hard at first, but I'm used to the chicken, tuna, eggs, shakes... ALL THE TIME..

    I do 50/15/35 - but I seem to usually go a little over on protein and end up more around 17-18%. It seems to work well for me. :-)

    I try to get in between 100-128g per day! I have no problem hitting my protein goals daily. I lift so it does help :smile:

    I think it basically depends on what your main goal is. Recommended is 1 gram for every 1lb of LEAN muscle. I am building muscle currently so I try eat around 150-200 a day. I weigh 158. Im not sure what my lean muscle mass is so I am just guessing for where my range should be.

    I didn't/don't decide. I just eat a healthy balanced diet and don't fret over the macros. But my daily amount is usually a little higher than the default MFP setting. I ran a report for the past 90 days and the average was about 65. The highest was 130 and the lowest was 25.

    Mine was calculated by my coordinator. I'm suppose to get 124 g per day in. I usually get about 100-110 g. per day.
