~25g per intake/meal

2.2 grams per kg if you are cutting really hard, tried and tested by starving bodybuilders everywhere.
However...they are also very very lean already. If you are already unhappy with food choices, then going lower may be better. The best diet is the one you can stick to.

I lost 17kg in the last year (still going).
I increased my protein quite a lot, not in an attempt to get swole but for satiety. I didn’t calorie count or anything but looked to reduce sugar and be aware of calories in things you eat regularly. Portion control is still something I struggle with but I just make sure if I have a big meal day then the next day I consciously eat a bit less. Also the more exercise you do the more you can eat, so I took up running 😬
Unfortunately i consume a lot of meat and dairy so I cant offer too much help there.

Re-embarking on some tracked low calorie intake weight loss, because I'm useless at portion management, want to drop 20kg for good and I don't want to take years doing it. Yay.
Aiming for 1400-1500 kcal pre-exercise. Is there any non-pseudo science regarding appropriate protein intake to prevent too much muscle loss? I'm still cycling to work every day, climbing once or twice a week and the odd mtb ride here and there. Not eating much meat and dairy, if at all, and boring food can fuck off. Which might make life a bit harder. Any advice?
