He said AT LEAST 180g.
This is how I interpret it as well. Obviously it would differ from person to person based on height, gender, muscle, activity, etc, but I think every adult should be getting at least 180g. I think for me personally I would feel like I'm starving if I ate only 180g of carbohydrates. I'm only at 1200 calories today so far (it's 12:37 ATM) and my carbohydrates are at 215g. 180g might be for like a 100lbs female...
What about the "Ray recommends 80g+ of protein a day and says that ~120g should be enough even for the most active individuals." quote? haidut has mentioned this recommendation many times here in his posts. Though Ray has said he doesn't feel good without at least 150g of protein a day.
And people forget that carbohydrates spare protein. So if you have 120g protein with 500g carbohydrates, that protein is going to go a lot further than if you have 120g protein and 50g carbohydrates. In the latter scenario you might even be protein deficient.
