160 grams a day sounds enormous until you notice a chicken breast is 30 and a shake is 25, happy to be corrected

liquid protein was the thing that fixed this for me. a shake is food, it is not a shortcut, thats one data point

front load it

resistance training twice a week, is that enough to hold lean mass
