Protein Dosage

As mentioned in the Protein Research Studies, anywhere from 1g of protein per pound of lean body mass to 1.5g of protein per pound of lean body mass should be taken every single day. Servings should be spread throughout the day. A slow-digesting protein such as casein protein or mixed protein can be used just before bed. Whey protein should be used an hour before workout, 20-30 minutes after a workout and spread throughout the day.There are many people who claim that only 25g of protein can be absorbed in one sitting, but this is not proven by science. Additionally, bigger individuals can obviously digest more food than smaller individuals, so do not believe any generalizations or "old wives tales" like these. A 200lb athlete will be fine using 40-50g of protein in a shake, but smaller athletes and women can probably just use ~20g (or one scoop of most products) per sitting.
