I did some research on protein intake and I'm a bit confused about what I need to do.
I'm 175 lbs and I used the protein calculators on bodybuilding.com to see how much protein I should consume.
Now, on one protein calculator, it says I need between 175-210 grams of protein...this is according to the calculator I used on this page:

However, the protein calculator on this page...
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/hardgainer-muscle-building-1-nutrition.htm
...reads that I need 263 grams of protein.
Which is it or is there something I'm missing?
