    112-140 grams. I can hit that in my first 1200 calories if needed.

    At just over 1500 cals, I was aiming for about 98 grams protein. Though some days I only got 80-ish, and I was okay with that.

    So, unhealthy intake?

    I eat more than 1700 calories. If I ate 1700 calories my protein would still be 125g, which will change (closer to 115-120) once I reach my goal weight, because protein isn't based on calories but instead on body weight.

    Try to get in a minimum of 100g, though the ideal for me is to aim more for 120-150g.

    90-140 usually, but I lift so I need lots.

    Aim for 100, with 70 as a minimum. I'll deliberately eat over my calorie goal to hit 70, but won't bother to get to 100.

    My goal is 120 but at a minimum 100 or at least 30% of my calorie intake.

    80-100, depending on the day. At least 30% of calories...

    I'm trying for over 100, but lately it's been more like 85-90. I'm working against a defective thyroid which is going untreated for now so, my calorie goal is set pretty low, though realistically I always eat around 1200 anyhow.

    I'm maintaining at exactly 1700 plus exercise calories. My bare minimum is 50, but that doesn't happen too often. My goal is 90. I usually end up around 75. It seems to work just fine for me.

    Well the OP didn't ask for much of a context. Your protein intake is based on how much you weigh.
