    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.

    I do 1 gram of protein for each lb of body weight so usually its 115g but sometimes I'll go over as I'm so used to eating high protein meals.
