How much protein is too much?

[Mr.X]

so how much protein can be digested in 30 mins?

Cut, that all depends on many things, from the type of protein to the type of person and the rate of nitrogen balance and the rate of gluconeogenisis.

DITTO!! Some 150 lb. geek won't assimilate as much as a 275 lb. monster. That's only 1 of MANY myriads of factors.

you'd assume that if the person had just worked out hard the day before and needed extra protein for muscle repairs that they would absorb more too.

and everything i read was assuming a person was not taking any drugs to change or improve the person's ability to use protien

Totally irrelivant. Most bodybuilders and atheletes uses drugs that increase protien sythesis. So information that does not take that into account is worthless. Non-atheletes have no reason to take in large amounts of protien, so finding an upper limit for them is also worthless in practice. Who does that leave to benefit from your "infromation"? No one.

Re: Re: How much protein is too much?

I don't think it's possible to judge a protein intake limit, but if you take certain steps to prevent problems you should be fine:
Daily intake:
Cranberry extract
Ala (Glucorell-R)
Glutamine Peptides
Vit C
2 gallons of water

Mr.X

I split my intake up over 8-9 meals. Never higher than 70g in a sitting which is the PW shake. I take r-ala, 1g Vit C, 2 scoops Gplenish, and 1.5-2 gallons of water everyday.

All serious one's do. Sorry, but the idea that one can plays sports on a serious competative level without being a lab rat, is at best wishful thinking.

Bear in mind that being highly active increase the rate of digestion and the absorbsion of nutrients eaten. Thus atheletic individuals would be able to absorb more protien, and at a faster rate, than sedentary individuals.

wow this is getting heated..

and off topic.. first off if ALL serious athletes use drugs then I dont consider myself a serious athlete. So coming from a non serious althete who just drains his time away training because he doesnt use drugs I will say... I have heard both ways that there is a set limit to how much protein can be digested. I would assume there IS a set limit or at least repercussions of eating to much at once like with carbs ect I also think that to look at anyone who says i eat x grams in a day and say thats too much\little is not the way to go because people need differing amount of calories. Now if someone says i eat x grams and thats x % of my total calories then I think you can make a judgement on it. So what percent of your calories are coming from protein OfimNedu?

Depending on the definition of 'serious'. Although this type of dictionary defining sounds like the Clinton trials in the 90s, you really have to look at the specifics of some statements. To me a serious athlete is one which trains constantly and consistently, no a pro athlete. For those folks drugs are not always the way to go and more times then not, they don't use them.

However, most Pro athletes and I would guess this rate to be 100% in pro bodybuilding and somewhere around 95%++ in football, USE DRUGS.

btw...OXANDRIN, personal shots at how other people look are not going to win you any argument. I take them offensively especially when it's against another member of the board; next time I'll just start editing your post - please try to not take any argument to an insult level.
