I found this podcast (ZOE interview with Prof. Ben Wall) very interesting in regard to protein intake and the anabolic window for recovery. A lot of coaches still follow the principle of consuming recovery protein in a relatively short window following exercise, but this Professor suggests that the anabolic window is much wider than was suggested from previous research i.e. at least 24 hours or more. So there is no big hurry to chug down 100g of protein shake or chicken in the hour or two after exercise! He also suggests that the daily effective intake of protein tops out at around 1.6g/kg for resistance based training, but could be higher for endurance. The latter seems to be uncertain. So for me that would be around 131g per day max. I probably don't hit that, but haven't checked recently.
