If you think about it, this makes sense, your body needs the time to digest and send protein to the muscles. I think 60 grams is a waste unless you are gonna spread it out in X amount of hours
This just ins't true, and its a common myth in the bodybuilding/supplement industry. What's funny about it is that most people who fall for this are under the impression that it's a "30 gram" cap, in that your body "can only digest 30 grams of protein within a certain time period", when in fact the original myth was that your body only digests "30 percent of the protein you eat per meal."
Seriously though, neither of this things is true. Every body is different and every body consumes, digests, and makes use of macro nutrients differently, but the idea that you "can only absorb 30 grams of protein at a time" is a just a simple marketing gimmick designed to encourage customers to consume more product, and thus, end up buying more frequently.
I know it seems counter-intuitive, but it's worth assuming that the vast majority of the information that the bro's at GNC and VitaminShoppe like to drop while you're browsing through their store is most likely utter bullshit and is only intended to entice you into purchasing products.
As far as supplements go, a high quality multi-vitamin is ok, but ins't totally without risks, and recent research as shown that high levels of things like Vitamin E can increase your risk of developing prostate cancer. A high quality protein supplement for post-workout is really all that you should ever need, especially at your age.
I use
Animal Pak,
Animal Flex, and
Optimum Pro Complex (but only because I get a discount).
Stop training like a pussy and eat some goddamn hamburger helper, wuss.
