Ok, really that rule is general as ****. There's a huge difference between a 160lb fatass and say Bernard Hopkins. Do you think they took in the same protein (or at least should have been). B.Bomber, from what I've read you train (or at least have been trainin') hard, so 120g is fine. The only thing is that when you take it a lot more than you need, you metabolize more, which through a long sequence of events, takes the calcium out of your bones. Personally, I'm 155, and take in about 110g of protein daily, but that's just me, hell, ask me, tell me what you do, and I'll do my best to tell you what you should be having, but I'm not doctor or nutrionist. Just know that any real athlete should be a little more specific than some "I weight this, so I'll eat this" rule. In the end though, as an athlete, it's probably better to go over than under. Not so good for your bones later, but if you're gonna go hard till your 30, and then lay off, you're not gonna doom yourself to a life of week bones, and your body will be getting the amino acids it needs.
