Everyones body is going to have its own chemistry so it will vary from person to person.
As long as you are at minimum the .5g/lb you are at a good point but you will need to adjust higher until you hit your sweet spot.
This is also something that will be a slightly dynamic number depending on your workout cycle.
Make sure you drink lots of water especially the higher protein you go. Your kidneys will thank you.
Also make sure you get your fats in as well. Your joints will appreciate it.

Bud, thanks for clearing that up. Makes a ton of sense. Also will save a ton of $$$. I'll cut my protein intake in half and see how I do for a couple months. Appreciate you.
