Well, that depends. I'm of the opinion that there is no such thing as "too much protein" but the protein that does not become muscle will fill your toilet bowl. What's your bodyweight, and how much do you want to gain? Generally speaking, maintenence intake is about 12 calories per lb of bodyweight with about 1.2 g of protein per lb each day. Bulking on the other hand generally consist of eating 15-20 cals per lb with 1.5-2g of protein per lb. To bulk cleanly I personally say take whatever fat naturally accompanies your protein sources and minimize carbs.
