Thanks, but this doesn't address the question of optimum protein intake per sitting.

This (paper) is to do with muscle-building, though. Based on the current evidence, we conclude that to maximize anabolism one should consume protein at a target intake of 0.4 g/kg/meal across a minimum of four meals in order to reach a minimum of 1.6 g/kg/day.

I found a paper on the subject, but don't fully understand it. https://jissn.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12970-018-0215-1#:~:text=Based%20on%20the%20current%20evidence,1.6%20g%2Fkg%2Fday.

This is the advice from Men's Health on the subject: Reframe how you think about protein, especially if you’re trying to build muscle. Instead of eating 60 grams of protein during three meals a day, trying eating 25 to 35 grams of protein four or more times a day.
