I used to do a gram per pound when I was bodybuilding back in the day, but your body can only absorb 25 grams during a meal. I eat about 4-5 times a day so getting over 200 grams isn't realistic for me, but I know I get enough between whey protein and chicken, turkey or fish at dinner plus a protein shake after workouts is good.
