What do you mean by stay in the body? How long until it is amino acids in your bloodstream?

To be absorbed and digested....what I've always read was whey is 20min, cassein protein is 8 hours.

anybody know?........im really interested because i don't have time for much meals and sometimes i feel like doubling up on a meal since your body always uses 97% of the protein you put it in no matter how much.

I don't know where you heard this, but it's untrue. You can't absorb beyond a point and it's put to waste, for some this is 30g/meal, 40g for others....but if you read that you could just take 120g shake and think its all going to be absorbed, thats wrong.

Zgzaz - do you think a 45g protein shake is beneficial?

Also I had half a chicken after workout today - do you think this would have been wasted?
