I've read that the body can only absorb about 35g of protein at a time, but I've forgotten the time interval between the next protein intake. Otherwords, how long do you need to wait...1-2-3 hours before your body is ready for more and will absorb it?

Anywhere from 2 - 4 hours depending on numerous factors. What those factors are, I can't remember for the life of me. I"ll find out (research) and be back. And yes, you're right- 35g is the max that the body can absorb at one time.
