[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am about 20 pounds overweight and am working on my overall health.  I have been committed for about two months now.  It isn't just about weight loss, but also mobility, strength and endurance.  I just want to be healthier.  I keep hearing that if you want to build muscle and lose fat, you should shoot for one gram of protein per pound of weight.  That seems wholly unattainable to me.  I weigh roughly 180 and the best I have ever done is get in 100.  How are you all doing it?  Or do I have the guidance wrong?[/quote]

That's what my teenage son was told to do to gain muscle weight for football.

You aren't trying to bulk up, are you?[/quote]

No one is going to bulk up while eating in deficit to lose fat. It just won’t happen. 
OP, I am also currently cutting and targeting 165g of protein per day. I achieve it by eating plenty of Greek yoghurt, sometimes mixed with protein powder, egg whites, lean meat and fish, and sometimes protein bars. I also generally have a protein shake with 25g of whey, nonfat milk and a banana+berries before I hit the gym. Ezekiel bread also helps with adding extra protein.  [/quote]
