I don't really understand the question. 

Why are you dividing your bodyweight by two?  When you're in a caloric deficit, I'd advise keeping protein intake to at least 1 gram per lb. of bodyweight.  If you're paranoid about it, 1.5 grams per lb.   High protein intake becomes more important when you drop calories.
