In your argument, are you saying that you don’t buy that this part tells the whole story:
quote:

the fact that muscle protein synthesis is maxed at 30g protein.


And that this part explains why it’s ok and won’t yield diminished results to eat, say, 80g in a sitting as opposed to 80g spread out?:
quote:

but what happens is your body slows absorption after that and your body keeps mps high longer.


My problem is more if I eat >50g in a sitting, I’ve got the runs within the hour. Does that mean I’m not getting the whole payload of the protein I consumed in that meal?

That is most likely waste that was already sitting in your digestive tract. Digestion will take a lot longer than 1 hour.

To answer your other part. Studies are now showing that you can absorb much more, especially after training.

I like Oikos Triple Zero greek yogurt. Tastes good and 15 grams of protein per serving.

for me have a consistent diet that you dont get bored of helps a lot.

the second thing is, for me, having two very large low cal high protein events during the day.

for me that's my breakfast and post workout shake
Yogurt (zero brand, 2 servings, 270 cals and 50 protein)
shake , 2 scoops, 260 cals 50 protein.

That leaves just another 100 to get through lunch, snacks, dinner and night time. which is quite manageable. since i kept my two big 50 protein events low cal i can play around with my other meals a lot more.

This is so spot on. This is where I ended up, basically. I add boiled eggs into the mix for breakfast.

If I can get 100 down under 600 calories I can have a monster day of eating and be totally satisfied while still being under maintenance.

This seems almost mathematically impossible unless you're only eating very fatty meat

Protein shakes.

I’ve done expensive Fairlife ones, whey powder, all of them, and I always come back to the 30g Premier Protein.
11 oz so you can just throw it back.
Tons of flavors.
Delicious.
Inexpensive.
30g a pop.

My daily breakfast:
1/2 cup of egg whites
2 whole large eggs
2 protein waffles from Aldi
50g protein shake

91 grams of protein. I'll usually eat half when I get home from the gym and the other half an hour or so later.

Been trying to eat a ton of high protein meals/snacks.

I feel your pain. If you’re over 200 lbs it’s a LOT of protein.

One thing that helped me was making a quiche on Sunday to eat all week. Google high protein quiche and there are a number of recipes. That plus a Greek yogurt gets you started at 50.

Try Ratio - 25g/protein and taste way better, especially the coconut one.

Shrimp is a protein cheat code. Easy to eat without any toppings, super low calorie to protein ratio.

Add 3oz of shrimp to every meal.
