Sorry then, didn't mean to give you unhelpful advice. Been there, when I was on ADHD meds I couldn't eat much throughout the day.
120g sounds really high to me. What source is telling you that? When I was tracking my macros I think I settled on a target of somewhere around 60 g / day and found it frankly impossible to hit sustainably.
To go back to your original question, IIRC the formula I thought was backed the most up by some studies (but sorry, I didn't save the source,and it was still a matter of active study and debate at the time) was about 0.75 x 0.001 x (body mass in kilograms). So, an 80Kg person would want 0.75 x 80g = 60g. This is markedly lower than the average bro science adages of 1g protein per kg of body mass.
USDA says 1.2-1.6g/kg lol
I know its bullshit bc RFK but still. I get something like .7-.8g/kg per day as this was the old USDA standard. Glad to know I'm in the right ballpark. There is a lot of websites that use the 2025 USDA standards and it seems like that was what was confusing me.
Lol and sob no wonder you're so confused, now I'm also so confused.
