"For a 220 pound bodybuilder, daily protein requirements would be 80 grams."
Mike Mentzer, Heavy Duty Nutrition, , page 9
80/220 = 0.36
I did not actually count the grams of protein consumed during my recent muscle weight gain of about 6 pounds, but I would estimate it between 0.35 and 0.4 grams per pound.

I don′t count either but i know i haven′t even eaten 1 gram of protein per lb (like many recommend) on a regular basis. BUT i know i′ve lost a good amount of body fat yet i also gain a good couple of lbs of muscle.
But i did made sure to keep my diet low in fats and i also made sure i had enough carbs too.

While on a weight loss diet many years ago I made a point of tracking every calorie and also every gram of carb, fat, and protein. At least tracked as best I could. I found that between 60 and 80 grams of protein was good for me. Any more and I got gassy. This was at a pudgy starting bodyweight of 188 pounds or so, dropping to the 170s in a few weeks. My strength remained fairly constant.
Now I use a percent bodyfat scale as well as training/poundage log and occasionaly a tape measure to help track body composition.
