I've been told I need one gram per pound of body weight per day, but holy shit...that's a ton. I'm 166 pounds. What are some of the bigger guys in the weight loss thread supposed to do? Seriously, you've got guys over there who weigh around four bills. Are they just supposed to pour they entire container into a give gallon bucket of water and slam it?
That's 13 scoops a day of that shit for just under 400 grams of protein.

I think you're supposed to base the amount of protein on your target/ideal weight rather than your current weight. If you ate 400g of protein each day, your calorie intake would be ridiculous.
I like Complete Nutrition's V-Core. It's a bit pricey, but it tastes good and it only has 120 calories / 20g protein.
