How much protein?

[guitarzan]

I am 6'2" 285 I know 1.5 x body weight to get bigger, but I just want to keep the mucle I have and burn fat as fast as possible. I have been working out hard and was consuming around 300g ( about 1x body weight) and I cut it back to 150-200 and and started getting weak. Does 1x body weight for just maintaning sound about right?

wouldnt dip below 1 gram per pound of bodyweight. keep the protein higher and manipulate the other macros. if that doesnt work, then look at your protein consumption.
