    25-27% would be a safe enough estimate.

    I'd guess around 26 to 28%. In the overweight zone but not obese.

    Thanks guys. So does this mean my protein intake should be estimated at 195 x 0.72 = 144 grams ? The problem is if i eat more then 150 grams i start farting a lot ...

    That's close enough. Try not to go too far below that, but don't be afraid to go a bit above it - it's not going to hurt anything.

    You're definitely over 20%.
