If its working for you, great! But keep an eye on the 1g protein per 1 lb. Your body will store xtra protein as fat.
Recommended protein is .8g / kg of body weight. But if you are lifting then it should be upped to between 1g to 1.8g per kg of body weight.
So heres the math (I weigh 170lbs):
170 / 2.2 = 77.27 (my weight in kg)
77.27kg * 1.8g of protein = 139g of protein
And thats using the high end or 1.8g per kg of body weight.
But like I said, if your plan is working for you then stick to it. Im just throwing this out there for others.
