    Personally, i wouldn't go over 60g of protein per meal. That's me though.

    What you listed seems like a little much. I usually take in 40-70..When I eat 2 chicken breasts its usually pushing it. Comes out to around 90..

    Your 'cut-off' is an individual thing.. so is how much you 'retain'. They're complicated and usually determined by facets such as digestion/absorption rate.. your body's protein turnover rate etc.

    What you listed is a shitload of protein.. and i cannot foresee how you can possibly retain all of that.

    I can't see how you'd be able to digest that within any feaseable time frame either.

    We eat every two-three hours..

    That much protein is sure to take longer than that to digest.

    Ronnie Coleman or Jay Cutler might be able to take that much in a meal and be okay but then again they are 300lbs with 7% body fat.

    Too much at once is worse than not enough in some instances.

    i heard that the max is about 60grams and people usually take that much for pwo. what you listed there is a little too much. let's see here a scoop of protein shake is usually 23g of pro so you are prolly getting about 46g of pro just on that one. a serving of cottage cheese is 1/2 cup and it's usually about 13g of pro so you are getting about 26g plus a couple of chic breast but i dunno your serving size so i wouldn't be able to list it. so far just from cottage cheese and protein shake alone you are getting 67g of protein. add your chic breast you might be getting about 75-80g of pro total in one sitting. i little too much imo.

    I'm surprised you aren't clearing rooms with gas with that much protein in one sitting.... too much protein for me and I smell awful...

    I was always told that the body breaks down protein 30-40 grams every 2-3 hours

    That's a blanket statement... not fact
