while on how much protein can the body digest in one setting?
the reason i ask iv just got in from the gym had my shake, feelin hungrier than normal made quite a large meal iv weighed the minced steak im about to have and it comes to nearly 100g of protein.

I'm not sure but I eat 7meals/day and each one contains about 50-60g of protein.

yeah same here i normally jus have about 50g each meal i was just feeling hungry so ate more, its been a couple of hours since i ate it and no stomache or gas so it seems fine, its not a normal thing for me to have 100g each meal. just about to cook next meal il go back to the 40-50.

No more than it needs.

generally the rule of thumb is about 30-50 grams.

i've read a good amount is .8 grams per lb of body weight. doesnt hurt to just eat as much as you can.

I read an article a few years ago in Muscle and Fitness that it generally is 25-30 at one time. Everything else goes straight through. Can't remember exact details it was a while ago.

I would say it would be hard to only have one answer. I think it depends on the person and their body.

depends on the type of protein.....isolate you can absorb about 50-60 grams, concentrte only about 20g-25g......

 

[OMEGA]

1-1.5 grams per pound of LEAN body mass
