Best bet when eating eggs- make a quick omelette or scrambled eggs by using 3 eggs. Separate the egg yolks out from the egg white for 2 of them, and use a whole egg for the third. I do this because it makes the eggs less runny and more consistent. One egg yolk isn't going to hurt.
I would shoot for maintaining one gram of protein per body weight. So I would shoot for 185 grams of protein or so. It's hard to do, but if you space out what you eat, you can accomplish it.
Can you do protein shakes?
Eggs in the morning, turkey and/or chicken sandwiches, steak, tuna fish..even peanuts all contain good sources of protein.
If you eat any kind of cereal, just add skim milk. You will not taste the difference and it will be healthier for you. If you make protein shakes, try using skim milk in them also.
If you have to, try to stick to 1%. Avoid 2% or whole milk.
As for that 1lb of body weight per week..eh..I wouldn't put much stock into that. Are you on a weight training regiment now? What kind of program are you?
5'11, 188lbs..sounds like you've got the body type for a lifter 
A good friend of mine was 300 or so lbs 2 years ago..he's now down to 250lbs and powerlifting..he looks like a tank. Weight training does so much more than pack muscle on..it changes your outlook on stuff.
Look up whey protein too. That would be your protein of choice if you'd like to build muscle.
