Window of muscle feed?

Last night I got home late and was really tired after gym session. Wasn't able to stay awake to get my 300grams of protein in.
How long does it take before loading protein just turns into fat after a workout?

OH...shit, you scared me for a sec.
Look, it's never a good idea to miss a post-workout meal/shake----it's the most important of the day, and I've actually noticed a difference in Nitrogen retention the next day after missing a night meal.
The fact that you got you immediate fist shake in should be leave you sitting good.

Why would you consume 300 grams of protien in one sitting?
Your kidneys must be PISSED at you, because you're destroying them if you're doing this every day.....Excessive protien also lessens bone density, which should come in handy after you break a femor during a heavy squat session.
Post workout for me is a shake with about 40-50m grams of protien and then another 50-75 grams in a regular meal about an hour after that.
