I have heard before that if your trying to build muscle, you need to eat 1 gram of protein for each pound you weight.

Well, if you do find you start working again, it’s a great distraction much of the time as it will keep your mind occupied, and you’ll be in a routine using ‘autopilot’ to do tasks.
I find when I am doing ok, work actually helps a lot.
Not so much of a fan of money. I think this is an extremely poor motivator that has been made necessary as you can’t live a decent life without it

I think you’re supposed to take 1g/kg of weight. If heavy lifting 1.2g/kg. Thats what I remember from my university courses but it was many years ago.

Online they say its 0.8g/kg of weight.
that is probably enough to be healthy, personally i shoot for 100 grams of protein a day, when im working out, which is on the low side. i saw a youtuber who is a nutritionist and shredded and he says he only eats about 60 grams of protein a day, but you have to meet your calorie requirements to have his kind of physique. he is also shorter guy. i’ll just live with my body, whatever it looks like with 100 grams of protein instead of the 1 gram per pound of bodyweight, which would have me eat 150 grams of protein a day.

60 grams protein is the bare minimum if you aren’t active. a gram per kilogram of weight sounds about right. id do it per based on the weight you want to weigh also, not what u actually weigh

But Body cant take process to much protein at once though. I read at a nutrition book. Moderate protein is the best. Plus too much protein is bad for the liver.
Most official nutritional organizations recommend a fairly modest protein intake.
The DRI (Dietary Reference Intake) is 0.36 grams of protein per pound (0.8 grams per kg) of body weight.

for health reasons you should also eat seeds, nuts, beans, milk and eggs. all great sources of protein with lots of minerals. oat bran is also great in that regard.

If you get more protein than you need your body will just probably burn that excess protein as energy, which probably isn’t the best way to get energy. A lot depends on your activity levels.
