I'd like to point out that there may be some benefit in going over this amount but there isn't much to show for it yet.
I remember AA and Eric Helms discussing that study on FB. Both had a few problems with it, and it still not clear that 0.82/lb BW is optimal or not for bodybuilding populations. It helps in getting close, but it's not there yet. Which is why many still go with the 1g per lbs BW. Even my current uni profs say to go with 1.6/kg. But that does not take athletic/sport related requirements into account when considering to increase optimization. The conclusion they came to was that it is SAFE to go over that amount (just in case measure), but at the same time, overreaching is not required.
Just this morning I read an article in M&F about protein intake, a recent study showed that taking more than 25 grams of protein at any one time won't do anything more..as it your body will simpy get rid of it. Personally, I have two whey shakes a day, morning and after work out. But I also take in 5 grams of L-Glutamine 4 times a day, 5 grams of L-Arginine two times a day, plus 10 grams of BCAA a day. Meanwhile, I eat protein at every meal. And for snacks I eat beef jerkey or boiled eggs or a hand full of almonds. I'm actually very happy with my results. Best wishes for a healthy New Year!

This is, of course, not true.
It's just marketing nonsense aimed at selling supplements.

You're wasting money on supplements that will provide absolutely no benefit and you're engaging in meal patterning that is of no special benefit.

There's strong bro-science in what you posted. If you're having protein at every meal you don't not need BCAAs at all because you're constantly digesting proteins and getting all the amino acids you need. Also that brings me to "more than 25 grams of protein at any one time won't do anything more..as it your body will simpy get rid of it". which is also wrong, you could consume 50, 100, 150, 200, I'm pretty sure last I heard even up to 2,000 grams and your body will eventually use MOST of it. Jason Blaha just recently did a video on this.

good luck with your eating 14 tons of chicken a day goals in 2013
and yeah i agree with what you say...get in 1g/lb if you can, if you dont - just dont stress over it...

As always, nothing can beat nutrient-dense food, so I always opt for no more than 25-30% of whey in my daily intake. It's sometimes hard to hit my protein
need for the day like that, but I try my best.
At this point, only at the end of the day on an as needed basis....
And only if it doesn't put me over my overall calorie target.
I'm currently cutting and prefer to eat my calories than drink them (accept for the occasional OJ). But if I need to hit 10g more of protein at the end of the day I might put a 1/3 of a scoop of whey in ~5oz of water and down it.
I've been running on the same 2lb tub of whey for at least 3 months and it's about half gone.

I don't understand this comment. The point of the research is that OVER 25 grams per setting isn't going to help. So in essence, it is against supplements.
Per your second comment, perhaps. After I use up the last of my supplements, I don't plan on re upping them anytime soon, just to see if they indeed add anything.

since it seems you will be away from home all day, have you thought about getting a crock pot? You can make enough food for the next day without being there at all.
