I'm no expert, but I am making lean muscle gains.

He eats pasta, and I don't so I use quinoa instead, or sweet potatoes, or organic black rice (Expensive!). Also note that this week I am eating chicken becuase that is what I cooked up in advance, but some weeks I will have Venison or Moose or Bear or Beef or another lean meat as a protein, or salmon steaks. Depends what I get around to prepping ahead of time because right now I am working 12 hour shifts and I have to have everything ready in advance other than the Quinoa.

Hope you find some value in this.

no it doesn't. its calories in calories out. http://www.liftbigeatbig.com/2011/10...-30-grams.html. thats a very old myth. you could get all your protein in one meal for the day if you wanted, thats what intermittent fasting is pretty much except its in a 4-5 hour window of eating. especially if you are training really hard too absorbing more than 20g at once would be super easy.

according to this article protein intake should be even more than 1 pound per bodyweight for intense training http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/maki1.htm. i can tell you since ive upped the protein shakes ive seen a noticeable difference. just stick to a good whey isolate.

1g per 1lb of lean body mass has always shown good results for me. If I know I'm gonna have a packed day and that I wont have much time to stop and eat, then I just make a big 100g protein shake in a bug jug and sip it throughout the day. Otherwise, my diet consists of chicken, fish, grass-fed beef, fruit, and veggies (nothing fried). Pretty simple.

Because Einstein is lazy, I will expand on this.
Your beef must be GRASS FED. If it is grain fed, the Omega 3/Omega 6 balance will be wacked the fuck out, and yours will as a result. Never eat beef that is not grass fed. That excludes almost all fast food shitholes and most grocery stores.
Avoid grain fed beef like the plague.

Thanks for the links DBK, I will check them out.

3packets of ramen noodles, 3 cans of tuna, and a multivitamin. This is the perfect formula for synthesizing amino acids for maximum gains. In virtually every category. Trust me. Ive read the internet.
