... re-read my first sentence... now explain how I suggested that one MUST "spread out" anything? My point was simple - there is a limit to how much protein your body will utilize. There was no implication or recommendation offered there.

I could have been clearer - we live in a time where, for the most part, we are not battling calorie shortages as a society which means that our bodies, which evolved to survive calorie shortages, are now dealing with a very different problem - calorie abundance

I definitely think that weight is a good indicator for most people (say within 1sd of the mean).

You're trying to pick an argument with someone who isn't even disagreeing with you on a specific point. Relax.

This wasn't an "argument" for anything besides the fact that how much you weigh is an inaccurate measure of health for people with high amounts of lean mass. Not sure how this is a "ridiculous" POV. Secondly, my initial post explicitly starts with "at some point" not "right now."

- OK? The above point is not an endorsement of "meal timing" (which I agree is absolute broscience) but a simple way of saying that there is an upward bound to the capacity of the amino acid transporters within the small intestines and the availability of short term storage within the labile protein reserve and skeletal…

Yes, but 1lb of muscle is denser than 1lb of fat which is why I specificly used density as a measure. Regardless, I'm not sure I understand what your concern is. When you get to a certain level of body fat %, weight is no longer a good indicator of health (less weight is not an indication of progress). Do you disagree?

- the human body can only absorb a certain amount of protein to build muscle mass during a certain period of time - The human body is highly efficient when it comes to prioritizing calories and it generally only builds muscle mass when there is a repeated need (i.e. continued stress on a particular muscle) - muscle mass…

Yes and it should because that is how we've survived as a species. Our body provides us with subtle and not-so-subtle hints about its needs (especially basic needs like food). Given that we live in a relatively abnormal time in human history (more calories available to the average person than their body can absorb), we…

There is a massive gulf between fat shaming and fat acceptance. The key is to see past an individual attribute (in this case, size) to realize that this is a human being of worth with feelings and intelligence. Their size does not diminish those things. Respecting them for who they are is not acceptance of their flaws but…

While it may still be a little ways off, you will have to start switching away from using "weight lost" as a measure of your success since strength/muscular definition will increase the "density" of your body making you weigh more even though you are much, much healthier and fitter.
