I don't think there's any magic number that's perfect. 100 to 136g of protein all will work. That's about 144 calories of slop calories to pull from elsewhere. "Empty" carbs would be my choice. For me, anyway, I'd rather have 144 calories of chicken or something and skip a portion of bread. But, it shouldn't make or break you, either way.
