Answer 1

You are putting some stress on your kidneys...I would cut down to about 1g per pound of bodyweight...you don't need more than that to build lean muscle.

Good luck.

Answer 2

you're protein intake is quite good...you just need to add other stuff to the diet.  Right now, you're on more of a leaning out diet.  If you want to gain eat other stuff (whey protein or weight gainers, oatmeal, brown rice, whole grains, peanut butter, fruit, steak, turkey, etc.)
