How much attention do you pay to protein?

I’ve been frequenting very gym centric portions of the internet lately. All I see are people consuming what i feel are copious amounts of protein. These people claim you need to eat 1 g per pound of goal body weight (for me that would be 120 g) every day while losing weight to maintain muscle and look good.

I don’t know if I’m thinking incorrectly but that just seems absurd. I tried it for the last 2 weeks and had the oddest “meals” that were basically just protein powder or a million egg whites or chicken and sadness.

So I’m curious, is it true? In order to be healthy and fit do I actually need a ton of protein or is it calories that matter? Any advice would be appreciated.
