That's what I am trying to learn and figure out.
I kind of lean towards the thinking that as long as I'm hitting what I think I need for the day...it doesn't matter if it's nothing in one meal (aside from training)...and 100 grams in 2-3 other meals.
Just kicking around ideas of what is better for me as I am getting older.
Days Off = 3x 75 Whey pro powder...+ an iso-pure minimum.The numbers should be different for food vs protein drink/powder. The latter digest quickly, while a good meal with protein (steak for example) will digest slowly and release its nutrients.
For drinks/powder - 35-40 grams. Exceeding that just causes gas.
IMO it depends on what your trying to do. In terms of maximizing muscle growth to the fullest degree yeah eating lots of protein every meal and taking advantage of muscle protein synthesis threw high protein diet is very beneficial.
You can maintain what you got on next to no protein but don't expect to really grow tons of new tissue.

I think it takes some Time for your Body to adjust to heavy powders..
Thinking back to when I 1st started 5yrs or so, My gas could clear the Room!
Hard Boiled eggs is another room Clearer!
dog that's Ronnie size portions. that's a lot of protein for your size bro. Just why? Tail end of a extreme dieting phase for 6-8 weeks yes acceptable, year around not needed. a lot of that u will be converting to glucose anyway. So have carbs instead. Why stress your body & give it extra work to process all that protein on a daily basis. You are not even trying to get huge still you dont need that much protein.60-80g per meal for 5 meals a day usually
