I was wondering right now I eat around 50-60 grams of protein daily. I was told it was not enough for someone over 300 pounds. I read 0.8 grams per gram of body weight, 0.8 grams per kilo of body weight and I read 60 grams for a male.

Does anyone know what amount a 300 pound man should eat daily. I feel like I am not getting enough though.

Thanks

I heard it's a gram per lb of weight This is from a website



Ideal Daily Protein Intake: 0.8-1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight.

So by 0.8-1.5 grams per pound I would need to eat from 257.6-483 grams pf protein daily. That seems like way too much...

The guidelines are modified for those that have higher BMIs. Instead it's suggested you use your target weight to calculate protein intake versus your current weight. Here's a good link with guidelines and calculator.
