It's a moving target. The more you eat and more often you eat it, the better you get at using the greater amount. Something to keep in mind is that you might be eating it all at once it doesn't digest all at once. So while you might eat a "serving", you might be digesting for several hours. Assuming you eat again before it's 100% gone from your system, it doesn't really matter what that particular amount is because you're 101% of what you need at that given time. And even then if your body doesn't require the amino acids at that time (because there just isn't a demand) it doesn't particularly matter if you ate 1g or 100g, you don't need it, it's now energy.

There's a cap per meal but it's pretty much irrelevant unless you're only eating once or twice a day.
