As compared to alternating non-workout days, yes.
355g would be high for me on non-workout days. In hindsight, I probably should have been running my carbs at around 350g on workout days, and 150-200g on non workout days. What are your stats?
I agree. For most people, 1g/lb of bodyweight, or 1.2 - 1.5g/lb of LBM is plenty. Most people dramatically overestimate the amount of protein required to grow muscle. You need enough to facilitate muscle repair and growth. More protein beyond that will note equate to additional growth.
