How much Protein post W/O shake?

[anthony518]

I usually take in around 220 grams everyday while on. That includes one protein shake after I lift. At 25 grams. The rest is in eggs and chicken with some tuna in there. You don't want your protein to mainly come from shakes.

I get plenty of protein throughout the day... no need to take it all at once.

^ Exactly, your PW shake doesn't need 100g's of pro.
You should be looking at replenishing your glyc. rather than pro.

My carbon unit do not absorb more than 40-50 grams at once.

Assuming you take your protein/dextrose shake within 10 minutes after your workout, how long do you guys wait to eat your actual pwo meal?? And what do you have in it??

50-60 with 30gr dex and 30gr malto 1/2tsp CEE

I agree 150 is too much but a large bb could maybe use the 100g.....

Many of my meals have 100mg protein. Quite easy.....two cans of tuna, protein bar with shake, whole chicken, etc. It is difficult for some to digest appropriately.

i have my post workout meal about 1.5 hours after my shake, which i have about 5 minutes after my workout is over!

I think I eat too much.

 

[liquidmuscle]

i thought the human body only absorbs 50grams of protein ever 2 hrs, so anything more than 50g would be shit out..i could be wrong

Bumpin dbbt......I agree. My focus is on glycogen stores immediately post workout as well. 80 g Carbs (from either cell tech or phosphagen HP) with about 30-40 g Pro. Then one hour later I'll eat another meal with 50-60 g Pro.
