1g + is whey company propaganda.

I'm pretty sure most research from actual scientific sources in the past ~5 years suggests .6 to .8 grams per pound bodyweight.

A 200 lb lifter doesn't need more than 160 grams on the high end.

100g is plenty IMO.

Maybe a little less.

Natty, 180 LEAN weight so 180g/day for me, but I just round up to 200g/day to be on the safe side.

Made the most gains. Anyone eating .5gr/lean BW or less is just not working hard enough in the gym.

You haven't provided enough information about your goals and about your self to even get an honest educated answer to your question.
