4g of protein per 1 kg of weight? not even professional does that, pretty hard for all body system 

I was informed by a sports nutritionist to take around 0.8-1 g of protein per lb of body weight which is 135-169g and from own research it’s saying 0.5-0.8g per lb so maybe I’m taking a little more than needed so I’ll cut back a bit thanks for making think about it.  

Also I’m not sure where you got 4G per kg because 170g devided by 76.6kg = 2.2g  

G day, rhe sports nutritionist gave you a good recommendation, this is the most basic method. but if your weight is 76 kg, then you need to understand that this is the weight of bones, organs and fat. It’s better then to calculate protein by body weight, for this you need a caliper. sometimes it's in your bathroom scale. Let's just assume it's 68kg. then, 68x1.5 (are you a man?) = 102 g of protein, and it is also 68 g of fat. in total it comes out to 1g of protein (4 calories) = 408 calories, per 1g of fat = 9 calories, that’s 612 calories. Calculate carbohydrates based on metabolism, load, age. I'll assume that you are a middle-aged man. 1g carbohydrate is 4 calories. average basic metabolism (presumably) 2200 calories (which means you need to go into a deficit, which will be the starting point of 1800 calories) 1800-408 (protein) - 612 (fat) 780 calories remain (these are carbohydrates)... and then you reduce the amount of calories by 200 grams weekly . smoothly reaching the low point of calories that are comfortable for you. (only, there is one caveat) if you do not spend energy, your metabolism will slow down greatly and you will not lose weight, you will only destroy the remains of muscle and create “supercompensation” 

supercompensation is a condition when, after a heavy and aggressive diet, the body replenishes its volumes, quickly and predominantly replenishes the fat depot. fat cells tend to expand. This happens especially often with people who have been on the most aggressive diets because they have a food breakdown. Yes, my bad, I did wrong amounting on a start, but really that seriously huge number of protein. You go right way to put atantion on protein, but just that's too much. Also, eat enzymes, cause that hard to digest. One of the best you can get, it is ox bile 1 000mg

Ok thanks for that I’ll need to digest that information. So yes I’m a male 64 years and have been active training most of my life in karate. My weeks workout is Weights Monday morning and Wednesday afternoon are the same for 65min Weights Monday afternoon and Thursday morning are the same for 50min Weights Saturday morning is totally different for 40min I run 7.6k on Tuesday I train in karate on Thursday night and Saturday afternoon  

Also where are you taking the 68kg from or how are you coming up with this. I have a program body fat calculator and even though it’s not perfect it’s what I use. 18.1% body fat Body fat mass 13.9kg Lean body mass. 62.7kg  

sir, when you do your research, be sure to look for a diet book, The Gracie Diet: What Grand Master Carlos Gracie, he is Jiu-Jisu Master. I actually found out that he's method is amazing, smart, and good, and a specially could be good for you, in such gentleman ages 😊  

Thanks Di Szulc I’ll take a look and I must say your looking sharp also what’s with the gentleman age 🤣  

Hi everyone im new here hopefully stay motivated I need to feel better again currently at 89 kilos 

Geoffwaye, from place where I from, after 50+ years old we are with great respect for age and wisdom)  

Hi Di Szulc, I wish the younger generation in Australia would do the same so I appreciate your help and respect thank you. 

Geoffwaye Thank you, Sir 

Your protein intake is spot on, I am the same 1g per pound of goal bodyweight.
