Answer 1

gaining muscle mass is about a lot more than just increasing the daily intake of protein. you have to increase both carbs and fats.

you really only need about 1-1.5 grams of protein per lb of lean body mass not total body weight. after all fat doesn't need protein. a higher amount of protein isn't going to cause faster increases in muscle mass, it doesn't work like that.

I would start counting calories and increase your cals by 10% each week until weight gain occurs.

Answer 2

one gram per pound of body weight. This should be divided up though out the day with the largest (100gm) after your workout and before bed. Use fast proteins after a workout and slower absorbing proteins before bedtime. Don't forget to rest. Your body grows and repairs itself when you sleep.
