That's about 36g high quality whey or 150g chicken breast. However the 3g number is just an average, a lot of things can affect it, for example women and older people need more protein for the same MPS response. On the other hand, guys on gear might need less.

It's also worth noting that there should be at least 3 hours between meals, it takes that much time for MPS to "reset", and any protein sooner than that won't result in an optimal MPS response. There are studies supporting this, and interestingly it fits the age old "wait 3 hours between meals" bodybuilder wisdom.
Disproven by every major institution - WHo, NIH, Journal of Exercise Physiology, NLM, etc.

That information is simply incorrect.
