Do I really need to be eating 220g of protein daily?
Post Body

Iā€™m M, 5ā€™8ā€, and about 220 lbs. Based on my body composition and lack of strength, I am easily >30% body fat.

My goal is to gain overall strength, get down to around 160lbs. I want to be fit but not bulky. Imagine a dude who is really good with bouldering and calisthenics. Doing pull-ups and climbing over stuff.

I am struggling to eat 220g of protein a day. Iā€™m finding that most of my meals are like half a serving of carb, a half spoon of oil, and mostly protein and veggies. However, I get way too full and never finish my meals. I definitely am not getting the protein Iā€™m apparently supposed to be getting.

If i had to estimate, Iā€™m falling around 150g of protein a day.

Is this good enough for my goals? Thanks
