The protein debate between physicians,nutritionist and others has always been a confusing thing. I know for me considering my activity level and my bodys personal preferences/eating choices I need the higher protein content. I personally drink 3 23 gram whey protein isolate shakes a day but keep my overall protein intake at about 100 grams along with 130 ounces of water to flush.

I can only chime in and say what I was told by a nutritionist which I have found some backing to but not much. I was told to consume 1 gram of protein per ideal body weight. I personally am not about to consume 120 is grams of protein because frankly I do not eat meat and have a hard enough time getting the protein I currently get so there is no room for the extra 20. I keep my sugars under 20 for the day my carbs around 30 and don't really count calories but I know I am not really getting enough which is why I take in so much protein.

For me I have to keep this balance if I alter I lose too much and end up tired. I am not trying to lose weight just maintain my current and keep lean muscle so perhaps my needs are a bit different and that may be why this works for me.
