Sosta, welcome!
How are you calculating protein consumed? Note that each ounce of meat or fish contains about 7-9 grams of protein. Eggs, depending on size contain about 6 grams.
Now for the fun part, there are as many ways to calculate optimum protein as there are variations in people's metabolism, meaning, there are a boatload of ways. I have always used 1.5-2.0 grams protein/Kg of lean body weight. This is consistent with what Steve Phinney and Jeff Volek recommend. I've noticed I can eat more protein and still be effective at burning fat, and that is my metabolic situation. Here's a link to a very detailed post by Marty Kendall that addresses the "how much protein" question with tons of information and a summary of the different approaches (it's probably the most informative summary around and provides multiple methods, one of which will be correct for you):

Good luck on your journey!!!
