Additionally, to maintain muscle, you need a minimum 219 grams of protein a day. But you want to gain muscle, no? which means you would need at least 300 grams of protein each day. As you embrace your nutrition plan, try to do this cleanly. This means whole foods, only drink water, maybe some milk for you since probably a hard gainer. No processed foods. Plenty of veggies. No soda, candy, cigarettes, or booze.
When you get to 50 posts, you can pm me and I will send you my macro calculator which will assist you in your nutritional efforts.
Remember, strength comes from the gym, but growth comes from the kitchen.
Good luck!
