Amount of protein intake?

[Corp jonesy]

When going with the idea of 1.5g-2g protein per 2 pounds of body weight is it best to calculate that to lbm or total body weigh?

What I have always stuck with is 1-1.5g of protein per lb of LBM, so a 200 lb male with 10% bodyfat would ideally take in180-270g protein per day

Its a minimum of 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight. So a guy who steps on the scale at 200lb wants a minimum of 200grams protein a day.
