protein question

After looking up my TDEE it says my protein should be 110g a day. OK so I read it's per lb of body weight or something? BUT then I also see that you should only eat between 50-60g? There's too much conflicting advice everywhere!
Today I've had 62g so between the info I've read I'm either over a tad or half of what I should have eaten Confused
Don't suppose any macro experts on here that can clear things up?

Don't do just protein
You need everything
Protein too much for weight loss long term is bad plus also you will put weight back on

Hi there :) I wouldn't call myself and macro expert, but I have read a lot about it since I have started my weight loss journey and I've also talked to many people about it. Of course everyone says it differently, but what I can say is that protein is definitely important for our body, no matter if we're trying to lose weight or gain it.
It is recommended to eat about 1g-1.5g of protein per kg of body weight. If you're exercising a lot then it can be even more :) Hope this helps!
