i try an get as much "solid" protein as my stomach can handle & fill in the rest with a 120 gm slow release protein shake that i keep in a cooler all day with my food... i pack about 200gms of solid protein foods (chicken breast, can of tuna mixed with a cup of cottage cheese, 4 eggs scrambled (less 3 yokes) for breakfast, etc.)...every 2 hours starting at 8am, i eat around 20gms of the solid & take a couple swigs of the shake(15gms) so ive always got a variety of proteins in my bloodstream.... i also have a premade 30gm shake in the fridge for when i have to get up and piss twice a night... plus i hit a 40gm whey(fast) shake with about 40gms brown sugar post work out.... just keep protein in your blood 24/7... your body doesnt store it, so you gotta keep it there to build muscle 24/7
