IMO you should aim for a minimum of 1g protein and up to 1.5g/lb /lb bodyweight(some even suggest per lb LBM) . Personally I do not see the need for anymore than that. You not only need protein but a balance of complex carbs and healthy fats as well in your diet to build muscle.
Your current calorie intake sounds fine, if your not gaining on that amount, then increase by 200 or so each week until you see weight gain." To dream anything you want to dream: That is the beauty of the human mind. To do anything you want to do: That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits: that is the courage to succeed."
