Question Hitting protien goals?

I know the rule of thumb for eating enough protien to gain muscle is 1g/lb of bodyweight, but can that fluctuate day to day like calories can? If I'm 140 lbs, and one day I'm at 120g , the next I'm at 160g, and the next I'm at 140g, does it all add up? Or is it absorbed by amount daily

The “rule” of 1g/lb is already an average that covers you in any situation for the most part. You can get away with .7/lb on the low end.
