your daily protein intake should be 1 to 1.5 grams of your bodyweight which means 240-360 grams....after workout you should take about 50-60 grams of protein(not protein powder,while 50-60 grams of protein powder do not provide 50-60 grams of protein but less, since the protein powder is not only protein)...

Why is it important to have protein in your diet?
Protein is needed for muscle growth and repair. Regular physical training tends to reduce muscle protein breakdown and protein loss from the body. While some protein breakdown may occur during exercise, protein build-up is enhanced during the recovery and the effectiveness of protein synthesis is increased. When muscle glycogen stores are high, protein contributes no more than 5% of the energy needed. However, when muscle glycogen stores are low, due to inadequate calorie and carbohydrate intake, protein is used for energy rather than for muscle growth and repair and may contribute as much as 10% of the energy needed for exercise. Such use of protein for fuel is expensive and inefficient.

What is more effective to gain muscle- eating protein and the working out or the opposite?
To gain muscle you MUST workout. If the body is not stressed enough to send the signals to build muscle, it will not matter how much protein you consume. If you are training very hard attaining a certain level of protein in the diet will optimize results but protein by itself will not build muscle.
