Getting my protein sources from Tuna, Whey protein, And egg whites?!
usually eat chicken, turkey, beef, salmon along with tuna, whey, and egg whites as my sources for protein, but due to work don't have time to cook that much!. for a month Is it alright for me to eat just tuna, egg whites, and protein powder/protein bars as my sources for protein!. Off course im going to eat the healthy fats and complex carbs along with these protein sources!.
It is really that big a deal if I don't eat chicken, salmon, beef for a while, do I really need a large variety of protein sourcesWww@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:
That should be fine except you may get bored with the varieties-
Try Whey and Soy protein powder mix with milk for breakfast; and protein cereal, muffins etc!.
Add chicken that are cooked to avoid overdoing tuna, some even comes in a can for convenienceWww@FoodAQ@Com

The amount of protein you take in each day depends on your individual needs!. If you are going to the gym 3-4 times a week and are doing a hard workout, you will definitely need more protein than if you have a desk job and don't move around much!. Protein makes muscle but too much can cause fat build up because of excess that you don't really need!.
