How much is too much?

Hey so I am severely obese 35 years old man, 6 foot 7inches, 32 stone 11pounds (210.25kg) down from 36 stone 8 pounds (233.69) over a period of about 6 months.

At first I was just going for weight loss but when I started going to the gym and lifting some weights and such on top of my daily steps and diet I really started getting into it and want to build as I shed.

My question is in relation to nutrition.

How much protein should I be consuming per day?

I’ve seen the 1.6g per kg of body weight. Which would mean I should be eating 336.4g of protein per day.

But people have told me “no no, just get around 200g per day and that’s fine”

These are fairly different answers so I would appreciate any clarification on if there is a “cut off point” of that formula or not.

Thanks in advance 🫡
