Hey guys just wondering what the optimal protein intake would be for cutting. I weigh about 145 at 5' 5". I am eating at a 500 calorie deficit and I'm eating about 180 grams of protein. Is that high enough for maintaining mass?

Yes.

I do body weight x 1.15 for protein intake
 
Yes...for both.

but not as much if you want 2 get cut.

its mostly dependent on your workout.

higher reps, lower weight=cut
lower reps, higher weight=bulky.

plus 2 stay cut you must do cardio.

Disregard this info. And your eating plenty of protein
 
500 is a good deficit which equals a 1lb weight loss per week. Everyone's body responds differently, some on a higher protein, low carb/fat while others thrive on higher carb and lower protein and fats. Continue to eat well

false that is pure broscience
 
just remember that if you are not doing a ketosis type diet then protein can stay the same as with bulking .. mine stays at 400g at the moment and i just change the other 2 macros
