Standard method (nutritionist's recommendations) is to multiply your body weight by .37.
If you weigh 160 lbs, that comes out to about 60 grams.
If you weigh 200 lbs, that comes out to 74 grams.
If you are engaged in endurance exercises (or weight lifting/body building, IMO) then you probably will benefit from extra protein. The recommendation here is .54 - .77 times body weight . . . 86-123g/160# . . . 108-154g/200#.
There's no definite answer to this. It depends on everyone. If you don't take protein at all, then you digest no protein. If you take a lot of protein, you're going to get kidney disease etc :p
