well, you didnt give too much info bout ur weight, and u dont like punctuation... but ill try to help you...

FDA recommends that you take in 1-1.8 grams of protein per lb. of bodyweight. Anything more is guaranteed to be digested instead of used by the body.
Take care

If you are 203 then take it no less than about 250 grams at the minimum.

You have to remember that the FDA suggestion is only for minimun requirement and not for optimum nutrition, nor does it take into account the bodybuilding lifestyle.
