The protein intake that the calculator is spitting out is quite high. Shouldn't it be around 1gram of protein per pound of lean body weight?

The calculator just mentions "body weight" as a whole.

i also thought this i have half of that in a day maybe a little more, around 140 grams a day! is this 2 low??

Ive done the math and it gives you your result based on 1.5g of protein per pound you weigh. Im getting about 148g on a cut in 5 meals a day yet it says that I need 231g! Which is correct but hell, Id struggle making that whether I was cutting or not!

Be sure to subtract you body fat and put your lean body mass weight into the calculator.

You should be getting 1 to 1.5 per kilogram per day, but the machine is bastardized to giving that for pounds.

i've heard from body building friends and from my dad who use to be built like a strongman, to take 2g:1lbs on days you work out and you can cut that in half on off days, but then again it seems that everyone has a different opinion on this and it looks like it's working

From an old fitness text book:

.2g/lb body mass for non-athletes (couch potatoe -soccer moms)
.5-.75g/lb body mass for atheletes (basket ball or track)
1-1.5g/lb body mass for amateur body builders which can also be broken down to .75-1g/lb on off days and 1-1.5g/lb on workout days and recovery days directly following a workout day. (Football Players/Body Builders)
1.5-2.5/lb body mass for professional body builders - these are the guys that workout 5-6 days a week and hit the gym twice a day. (Jay Cutler)

The numbers seem high because they are, if you want to build muscle you need the fuel to do it. Otherwise you can get ripped and good looking but you won't necessarily get the size and definition that you want.
