That's a HUGE difference. I did think the 27 was a little low and so have been aiming for a total of 100 day/33 a meal.. I don't know if I can chock much more in, I'm stuffed as it is.

Abbey, there's nothing wrong with using the calcs from the original PP book. Just think of them (as you appear to be doing) as a minimum, and then if you do happen to get more than that, you're all good.
By the weight-divided-by-six method, I actually get 33g/meal or 100g/day; using PP book calcs, I'm in the 27g/meal, or 81g/day. Believe me, there are some days when getting in 81g of protein is a work of art.
