im about to strat my first HST cycle and have just started by first SD. but i was wondering if i should still keep my protien intake at 1gm per pnd even though im not lifting 4 two weeks?
 
I don't think it will really matter all that much. Your body probably won't need as much as it would when you're lifting, but over the course of 8-14 days (or however long your SD is), it's not going to make a difference whether you lower your protein intake a little or not.

Back when I still did SD's, I would usually just lower my total calories to maintenance levels (my maintenance clocks in at around 2800), and eat the same amount of protein I always eat. Seemed to work just fine.
 
Protein intake of 1g/lb is more than needed in the first place, let alone during SD. You'll be fine as long as you eat at maintenance and eat protein as normal as LittleBigHorn suggested.
