There's also that in general, most people vastly over-portion their proteins. If you're talking nutritionally, anything more than a 5oz(~40g protein) steak equivalent portion of a protein is getting mostly wasted. Yet most people probably easily double that for dinner. Do you often have gas, with absolutely raunchy farts? You've got the protein farts, a side effect of protein wasting.

Is this based on the idea that protein synthesis maxes out at around 30-40 grams of protein per meal? Because there’s a few new studies starting to pop up due to the rise in popularity of the OMAD diet and intermittent fasting. Not asking to be a dick just genuinely curious if I’ve missed anything and if there’s anything new worth reading on this topic.

Humans can digest 100g or more protein a day. I (155lb) regularly ate that much to recover from training.

Yes, per day. I'm talking within a meal window (1.5-2hrs). There's a reason most bodybuilders with huge macros eat like 6 times a day.
