Excess protein comes with diminishing effects; you won't see any extra benefits past 150 grams at your weight. Any excess calories you eat over your maintenance will just become fat

I'm sorry but how are you eating 3000cal and you're only 155? That doesn't make any sense

if you are in maintenance extra protein gets used as fuel instead of a building block, no harm.

200 is too much for now. I think you’d be fine at around 165-170g maybe even less

That sounds about right tho. 155 isn’t skinny

It is skinny unless you're like 5'5" or under. Skinny enough to where eating 3000cal a day would have you on track to 200 in no time.

You’re not hitting 200 eating 3000 calories daily

155 is not skinny. You’re just used to people being obese in country
