It's been a debate for years, Edwin. I have heard all sorts of stuff when it comes to protein intake.

The most common one or the RDA is .4g per pound (from what I remember). That makes its it 72g of protein that I should be taking (weigh 180 currently). Of course this is more for inactive people. Hell, my post workout shake is about 65g of protein.

From my own experience, consuming around 1-1.5g per body weight, is the most ideal, if you are active and constantly training. Going back to the first point and the RDA recommendation, is .4g of protein per pound okay? Sure it is, but it all depends on what you're training to accomplish. I consume about 225-250g of protein daily, but my goal may be different from yours or anyone else.

I'm not a nutritionist or a personal trainer, this is from my own experience. Hope what I said helps you in achieving your goals.
