    .8-1g protein per pound of body weight for people trying to lose weight or build muscle.

    More if you're really trying to bulk up.

    .7 minimum to be healthy.

    mine is set to 53. I usually get 40-50, sometimes more, sometimes less... sometimes it's a lot less cuz i' not a very big meat eater, but i do try. i don't care for nuts too much, but will sometimes have a spoonful or 2 of peanut butter

    I'm 5'6" / 161 lbs and I follow P90X fat shredder - protein set at 50% - I aim for 225g a day (hard to do without supplements)

    Dang! What's your calorie limit? It'd be hard to get 225 with only lean meats (even if you're doing a protein bar AND shake everyday).

    1800 calories a day / workout pretty much 7 days a week - cycling, running and P90X2

    I add protein powder to yogurt and I have a couple shakes a day (it's not perfect but this is what I aim for)
