how much protein can the body absorb at once?

The ideal way to get protein is on a continuous drip feed, similar to an IV or a stomach G tube. When done this way, the muscle has the positive nitrogen balance throughout the day, to use the protein small amounts at a time, instead of taking larger amounts at intervals. I had the G tube with a high nitrogen formula for several months, and it worked well, but the doctors should have given me more of it, because they weren't giving me anywhere near 1.5 g per pound. I learned about this from my own hospitalization, and ironically, my nephew also has a G tube because he has a problem with choking on food. He's only a little kid, but I convinced my brother to double up his feeds and switch to a high protein liquid feed. Now, the kid is huge. His hands, body, and muscles just dwarf other kids that are older than him. It's amazing to see how a continuous feed of protein will encourage lean tissue. I learned firsthand that small, frequent, meals are best. Ideally, eat every hour, but most people eat 2-3 hours. If you only eat less frequently, then having more protein at those times will not be a problem unless you have serious kidney or liver damage.

Again as i said above this is not a correct conclusion.
Protein synthesis rate returs to normal after a period of time even if hyperaminoacidemia is kept at a high level for a prolonged period of time.
