Actually, we do care a lot - we've spent a lot of time on this 10-part feature this entire week. I'll fix it ASAP. Thanks for the heads up!

so if I need to consume my body weight (173) in grams of protein throughout the day. Could I consume like 70 g of that in 1 sitting or no?

Proteins were NOT discovered by Jöns Jakob Berzelius, he mearly coined the phrase. Proteins were discovered in the 1700's as referred to as albuminoids. In the 1800's, experiements were conducted determining the physiological significance. In 1838, Gerardus Mulder determined the elemental make-up of proteins which led to Berzelius's renaming.

Its not advisible to copy information verbatum from Wilikipedia since that can be wrong.

If you understood that the article was shortened for people who want a easy read, I stated proteins were discovered by J?ns Jakob Berzelius for ease of read. Albuminoids when discovered had not been identified with all the current "attributes" that was later attributed to "protein" 100 years later. If you would refer to Mulders writings,
Journal f?r praktische Chemie 16, 129 (1839) [as translated and excerpted in Mikul?s Teich, A Documentary History of Biochemistry, 1770-1940 (Rutherford, NJ: Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 1992)], you will get this direct quote from Mulder (notice the reference to Berzelius ....).

I have been occupied for some time with the study of the most essential substances of the animal kingdom, the fibrin, the albumin and the gelatin. Since the publication of this work I continued to study these substances. Berzelius communicated with me concerning the published results and gave me good advice for which I express my sincere thanks. ...

70 grams in one sitting is too much. stick to 30-40 tops and spread the meals out every 3 hours

As the article does state, protein meal first thing is of importance, but leaver the carbs alone if u want to burn more fat.

Visit http://www.MuscleMagFitness.com and http://www.MyBesthealthPortal.com and read my article on protein timing. These sites also include a lot more articles that I have written about this subject, and many more related subject to overall health, wellness, diet, and nutrition.
