Grams of Protein Per Day?
How many grams of Protein per day do you take in on average? Does it differ on non-workout days?
I am on a 2300 calorie per day diet and am taking in 170-180 a day. Thoughts?

I take between 200-250, usually closer to 200. I don't vary much from day to day, though I do make a conscious effort to take in more depending on whether I did squats deads or arms and the amount of effort i exerted. I have even gone as low as 170 and not noticed any adverse effects. 150 and below and I just do not recover in time for my next workout and I burn out really fast. I am between 260 and 270 pounds. I also pay alot of attention to insulin manipulation which I think plays a big role in recovery and muscle building. Here is a typical day
morning - 2 scoops opticen, 1 insulin spike
mid morning - workout, protein shake after, insulin spike
afternoon - lunch, high protein usually chicken or fish
mid afternoon - some sort of high carb (this is relative) snack to get insulin up
early evening - dinner, protein with side of veggies
hour or two before bed - protein again, if its a shake then insulin spike, if not then no spike but no worries
edit: so that works out to be between 0.8g/lb to close to 1g/lbLast edited by dynamo; 09-13-2009 at 07:49 AM.

I would say anywhere from 110-450 grams a day.
This is a useless quote that means nothing but yet defines me as a profound intellect.
6'1", 220@9%
Bench 420
Deadlift 710
Squat 610

I'd aim for 1g-1.5g per pound of body weight; that's the general concensus...some even go for 2g. Definitely not less than a gram though.

You will have gotten stronger when the weight that feels heavy is actually heavier than the weight that feels heavy now. Then the weight that feels heavy now will be a warmup for the weight that feels heavy then. But the weight will always feel heavy or you're not lifting enough weight. Clear? -Rippetoe
