That's about right though...
I don't understand why you're confused. You have to eat more than someone who isn't bodybuilding if you're trying to make your body grow.
Also you don't even need protein powder, it sounds a lot cos you're equating it to protein shakes. You get protein from fish, chicken, meat, eggs, cheese, nuts and so on?
175mg per day is easily doable over four or five small meals if you are using protein powder as well.
