Rarely just 'snack' after a workout. After my strength session this morning I had 2 burgers, spicy rice, mini potatoes and a wholewheat pitta, then a couple squares of 90% dark chocolate.

Just to clarify, I wasn't saying that you should rarely snack after a workout, I just meant I rarely do, just read it back and it may be interpreted like that.
Macros for the meal I posted from after strength session this morning:
56.3g protein
116.4
20.6
The dark chocolate will be another 2g of protein, 3g of carbs and 9g of fat.

this is a general question but after you work out do you try and eat foods with as much protein in as possible? As the body can only in take 30 grams of protein per serving it would be a waste of 26.3g, or do you just eat the food and aren't really bothered about the numbers? not a criticism by the way just a question.

Well the bolded isn't correct so it's a non issue in that regard
I just fancied eating burgers which happened to be 20g protein each.

Tom Venuto, a certified strength and conditioning specialist and bodybuilder, suggests consuming about 30 g of protein per meal, including your post-workout meal
(article from livestrong magazine, credited magazine we can say)
. However, she notes that whey protein passes through the intestinal tract in about 1.5 hours, so in this case, 15 g of whey at once is the ideal amount to consume for maximum absorption. Consuming more than this amount in one sitting would simply get excreted from the body.
Again from the livestrong magazine
both suggestions considerably less than 56gs

The intestines have 'braking systems', such as the ileal break, which control the amount of nutrients that enter the small intestines so that absorption is maximized and minimal food is wasted (not every calorie of every meal is going to be absorbed regardless of how you time/quantify each meal). So in short, the larger the content of the meal, the slower the rate of digestion.

i disagree, your telling me if you are taking cyclone and you have over the recommended (2scoop) allowance your body will just store it till a later date.
Ask anyone in your gym that isnt the case maybe a couple of grams over fair enough but when you consuming 26gs over (nearly double the intake guidance lets say for argument sake) its a waste.

Worth watching.
If you want more empirical evidence, look at those who follow the intermittent fasting diet protocol.
I'm not realy sure how you can disagree that a larger meal is digested slower than a smaller meal

There's a peer-reviewed study that shows that intermittent fasting doesn't effect protein metabolism.
Macros were equal, one was a standard diet and one was intermittent fasting protocol, no differences in bodyweight were seen either. Surely if additional protein is simply 'wasted', then since the diets were isocaloric, those on the IF protocol would see a reduction in LBM?

so your telling me with your theory that you could go to the gym and take a whole tub of protein powered and your body wouldnt waste it, it would just store it? so so wrong

Erm, no.
I'm saying that the idea that you can't exceed 30g of protein per sitting in fear of it simply being wasted is wrong.
Body composition is dictated by OVERALL macronutrient intake.

if you check further back i did state you could exceed it a couple of grams over , however 26gs continuously is too much.
