So in other words, I seem to be about right getting 370g a day at about 98kg.

eating; or smoking? haha
Kai Greene was said to consume 100g of protein through cod 9 times per day leading up to the New York pro. 900g in a day!
Granted he’s quite a bit bigger, and chemically enhanced, but I’m pretty sure his body used most of that.
The rules I follow for my body are:
I rarely go over 50g in one setting besides my protein shakes which are around 70g.
I do between 40-50g in meals about 6x/day and have 2 shakes with the 70g. I’ve been adding leucine to my shakes for a long time now, I also get about 15g EAA for breakfast and before bed. About 30g BCAA pre/peri workout.
My daily protein intake has been above 300g and occasionally up over 400g. I grow from this with enough calories. Being I weigh about 215, I feel between 300-400g and I’m good. No need to consume excess of anything, just give your body what it needs to grow. I also couldn’t afford to eat much more protein. lol

This is off-topic, but you have crazy definition in your upper body. Really balanced, too.

Thanks man I try. lol

I’m amazed at how often this pops up.
To those who believe the 30g per sitting, how close together can you have ‘sittings’?
If you believe 30g max per 2 hours, realise this: this means a max of 240g per day (assuming 8 hrs sleep) might be fine for for a 170lb guy but what about a fairly lean guy of, say, 275 lb not on roids?
My conclusions / belief is that:
a) everyone is different.
b) protein uptake depends on various factors, such as timing, previous protein intake, other componants in the diet, recent type + intensity of exercise etc etc.
Most of all most people do well on the 1-2g Pr / lb bodyweight, not from a scientific study but real experience of thousands of people.
Somone said it earlier;
its protein, just f*ckin’ train and eat it!
Has anyone heard of paralysis by analysis?

Haha, I was just curious. It’s not something that really affects me as I very rarely exceed 50-60g a sitting (usually well below that.) But people discuss it a lot and obviously it generates some discussion, so I was wondering if there was a general guideline or anything. Obviously not, which is fine with me.
Challer1 you are correct. Well, atleast from what I was taught. First is size; if you want to keep size you must eat that in protein equally every 3 to 4 hours during the day. If you are active you will need even more protein per meal.
I do believe it’s all about genetic diposition. Some people have a hard time absorbing protein others do not. It depends on the individual.
I think to keep things safe, a non-active person should consume .5-.8grams per pure body mass per day. For active individuals I think 1-1.5 grams per pure body mass per day is adequate.
As for tuna fish…2 cans every day, Salmon every day, and shrimp every day…hope it doesn’t catch up to me!
right then, my breakfast usually provides me with around 75 grams of protein (3 burgers, 2 eggs, protein shake and lettuce + tomatoes), does it mean I am wasting the other 25 grams which just make me fat?
Just eat.
eat as much proetin as your stomach allows you to stuff in it and shit the remainder out. everyones protein “absorption number” is different depending on amount of muscle mass, ,experience, and quality of protein
I don’t think your question can be answered by random forum members looking to flame.
