Protein Cause acne?

I just stopped my diet and workout because acne started breaking out pretty bad on my face and shoulders. About a week after i stopped i notice the acne was starting to go away. They only thing i could think of is the protien. Here is the rest of my diet...

Meal 1
3 egg whites
1 whole egg
10oz milk (1 1/2%)
1 scoop of whey
2tbsp peanut butter
3/4 cup of oats

Meal 2
12oz milk (1 1/2%)
1 scoop of whey
Yogurt
Banana

Meal 3
2 cups pasta
1/2 cup cottage cheese

Meal 4
1 can of tuna on roll

meal 5
8-10oz salmon

Postworkout shake
10oz milk (1 1/2%)
3/4cup oats
1 Scoop of whey

meal 6
8-10oz chicken
Green Beans

What do you guys think? Protein causing it? I also dont take a multi vitamin, i know i should tho.

I am 21yrs old, 6'1" 150lbs

I have the same problem, I think its triggered by hormone changes. When you start lifting and growing, your body increases growth hormone. Thats my theory anyway. Im sure someone can give you a more scientific explanation.

I don't have a super bad problem with it, but it seems like I get it more when I'm trying to bulk up and taking in more carbs. Different people are probably different though.

Without quantities and nutritional breakdown it's really hard to get a good idea. Excess protein is just cals and will be converted to glucose. Might be a combination of too much milk,the yoghurt, the pasta and dinner roll through the day.
Get some more monounsaturated fats in your diet and definitely more greens (veggies)....one helping of beans doesn't cut it.

Any idea what the raw numbers are (cals %p/c/f)?

45% cals, 33% protein, 22% fat

3864 cals
90g fat
468g carbs
305g protein... double what i should be taking but the excess turns into fat and right now i dont care about extra fat on my body, i will take it. But if thats what is causing the acne then there is no doubt i will cut down but im not sure it is the protein.

thanks
