i'm 5'8 and 195, i take in around 225 a day. i can take in more, but it doesn't really help me. i notice just as good gains with this amount of pro as compared to when i'm hanging around the 325 range. your body can only handle a certain amount of protein at one time....so eating too much is just a waste of your money... i know people will contradict me, but more isn't always better.

I eat close to 1gram or 1.2 times my body weight, and I have gotton bigger and more cut with losing the carbs. I dont know how some people manage to handle 450+ grams of protein a day. if you have 6 meals a day, thats 75 grams of protein a meal. Thats just a waste if you ask me.. your body can only take in so much protein at a time.

However, if it works for some people then I guess it must work. Id stick to the 1 to 2 times bodyweight in protein. thats my 2 cents.
