That is what I was referring to, stones to lbs. I did not know what a stone converted to.
In that vein, conventional wisdom would have you taking in a minimum of 169 gr. 1 gr. per lb. of bodyweight. However, there are conditions to this. This is just a rule of thumb. Erring on the high side is always more beneficial than being too low.
And if you are cutting you will need to up that amount fairly drastically as you lower othere nutrients.

Is this true or not? If you want to start a cutter you should measure BF exactly and go from there? The reason I ask I have read and got so much knowledge over all from KIAN, and I dont remember the number overall but he states you should make your protein and carb and fat intake directly related to your overall lean body mass. Right or wrong? Just trying to throw some ideas in there to help.

You can use lbm, or total bw. I prefer total bw, as mentioned always better to err on the high side of protein. As you cut, you may well go up to 2 gr.
I have done numerous contests, and always way above tbw on protein intake. Even when bulking I am normally at 1.5 gr.
There is not one shred of credible evidence as to high protein intake and kidney, bone/calcium loss, and renal problems. Evidence this study...and I have more....

Do Regular High Protein Diets Have Potential Health Risks on Kidney Function in Athletes?

Abstract
Excess protein and amino acid intake have been recognized as hazardous potential implications for kidney function, leading to progressive impairment of this organ. It has been suggested in the literature, without clear evidence, that high protein intake by athletes has no harmful consequences on renal function. This study investigated body-builders (BB) and other well-trained athletes (OA) with high and medium protein intake, respectively, in order to shed light on this issue. The athletes underwent a 7-day nutrition record analysis as well as blood sample and urine collection to determine the potential renal consequences of a high protein intake. The data revealed that despite higher plasma concentration of uric acid and calcium, Group BB had renal clearances of creatinine, urea, and albumin that were within the normal range. The nitrogen balance for both groups became positive when daily protein intake exceeded 1.26 g · kg–1 but there were no correlations between protein intake and creatinine clearance, albumin excretion rate, and calcium excretion rate. To conclude, it appears that protein intake under 2.8 g· kg–1 does not impair renal function in well-trained athletes as indicated by the measures of renal function used in this study.
