I would say you would need more than that...If you are looking to bulk then 1.5g per lb of lean body mass is pretty good IMO. I'm 185lbs and I'm taking 300-350+ grams of protein daily, but I'm trying to put on some serious muscle mass. Your goals may differ and so would your diet.

Fish is a good source but you might have to watch the fat depending on what kind you eat. I usually eat alot of chicken, beef and fish and I take in quite a bit of protein from whey (1-2 scoops (about 25-50g protein) 1 pre, 1 during workout, 1 post, 1 in the middle of the night). Check the sticky on how to bulk and you will find a calculator and it can give you a pretty good baseline for what your maintenance, cut, and bulk macros should be. Start there and tweek it as needed to meet your goals

I typically have about 8 meals or more with a total of 5000+ calories daily. I've usually got 200grams of protein in me by lunch time
Eating is like a second job
