You really don't have to eat that much protein (maybe two grams per kg of lean body mass) just make sure that you are eating several hundred calories over your maintenance every day and you are lifting consistently, with good intensity and incorporating progressive overload.

A lot of this stuff (very high protein, high meal frequency) is out there because it keeps supplement companies in business.
