Jason,
I am asuming you are weight training but you don't say how old you are
for a weight training adult you need between 1.2 and 1.6 grams pr kg of bodyweight, this is increased to 2 grams if your a teenager.
most people can get their protein needs from a normal diet, fish, chicken and eggs are all good and if your vegetarian nuts, seeds, soy, tofu, lentils and kidney beans.
don't take supplements if you don't need to.

60 to 80 grams of protein a day will be plenty. The most natural sources are food.
Despite the number of kids who fall for product marketing, you don't need any special shakes or supplements to get enough protein.
Two chicken breasts will give you 60 grams of protein. A cup of cottage cheese will give you another 30 grams. That's already well more than you need for the day.
Check my source for some numbers.
