According to YellowJackets incredible post...

How much do you weigh...how hard do you lift and how much above maintenance are you? The higher over maintenance the less protein (comparatively) you need simply because excess carbs and fat will protect you from using protein as energy. The reason you don't only eat protein is just that. If you are lacking in carbohydrate and fat as energy sources protein/whether muscle or ingested will be used as energy. However, protein is less efficient as an energy source and if all you eat is protein, you pretty much feel like ass.
 
From what I have read anywhere from 1.2(maintenance) - 1.5(gain) grams per pound of LBM. I think that is barely over, but not enough to worry. Also keep in mind that, other than post workout, the body can only digest so much protein at a sitting. Depending on the source (fast or slow digesting), you need to account for that as well and spread your intake accordingly.
