Daily protein intake?

Just curious how many grams of protein you guys shoot for taking in every day. Is it different if you're cutting, bulking, or maintaining weight? I know Taylor mentioned only paying attention to calories and protein on MyFitnessPal but I don't think he said if he goes by the protein goal the app sets or if he has his own

    I used this website If It Fits Your Macros as my starting basis. Macro Calculator I don't follow it to a T because I feel its kind of skewed but its a good ball park figure.

    Goal is 200 but I'm probably closer to 150 a day. The old idea was a gram per pound of bodyweight, current thinking is closer to .8 grams per pound.

    I was told by my track coach who is also a personal trainer that if you are under the age of 30 to set a goal for 1g of protein per Ib that you weigh. That’s a goal that you probably won’t attain but it’s what to shoot for.

    I’ve read to do about .8 to 1.5g per pound of lean body mass
