Your ideal protein intake may be closer to 0.6 to 0.9 grams per pound of body weight during endurance training instead of 1-1.5 grams. This would lead to a macronutrient breakdown of 20–25% protein, 55–60% carbohydrate, and 20% fat. So, the maximum protein absorption per meal is possible with the best protein rich diet.  Strength athletes like gymnasts and calisthenics practitioners require more than 35% of their calories from protein. If so, you should eat a diet high in protein and less in carbohydrates, with a protein-to-carbohydrate-to-fat ratio of 30–35%.
