Layne would probably agree that the body will "utilize" 150g of protein, but not for protein synthesis. You can actually digest an enormous amount of protein, but Layne (and others) have shown that the amount of protein/meal to maximally stimulate protein synthesis isn't that much...maybe like 50g for a "big" guy.
However, large protein meals spaced out tend to digest slower, especially consumed with fat...so eating 100g of protein/meal 3 times/day may make amino acids readily available when spiking protein synthesis with leucine between meals.
