I have seen it gram per pound too, but just always assumed that was on oversight on the part of the person repeating it (we aren't used to saying kilos in the US much).

I'm not going to argue because I'm really only speaking for what I've have made work for myself. And that certainly doesn't prove you our your sources wrong.

I do believe that 30 grams of protein at a time is digested most efficiently, beat eating in excess still counts. Eating 60 grams of protein in one sitting is still 240 calories your body will process. It's probably best to space out relatively equal sized meals, but the more I've gotten away from having perfect portions at the exact right time the more I realize that it hasn't even slowed my progress.

This is just our difference in eating habits, but I never had a problem getting to 180+ grams a protein a day. A lot of time I'll go 20 to 30 grams over and just eat that many less carbs because it just fit my meals a lot better. I get around 40 grams a day just from eating whole grains. Throw in a cup of cottage cheese, 2 eggs, 4oz of chicken and protein bar or smoothie and I'm golden.
