How much protein should I take in one sitting?

[leetuck]

Hi,

I've had a quick look on the search facility so don't shoot me down for this question.

How much protein can the body take in one sitting?

I read somewhere that the body will only be able to absorb so much protein in one go, the rest is wasted.

I try to eat about 220g of protein per day and spread this over the entire day in smaller amounts rather than have a couple of big meals. I think this way will work best but wanted to know what you all thought.

My protein drink serving consists of 60g of protein, as the protein is absorbed fast I assume non is wasted.

Thanks
