I think its fine. Some will suggest the body will only absorb so much protein at a time,,,however I think this varies greatly.
i dont feel terribly full after this either, must be the lack of carbs in the chicken.

It really depends on what your history of protein intake is... it's long been believed that the body could only "absorb", 40-60g protein per sitting.... depending on your size... but that's not the case....or at best, it's an over-generalization....
Your body takes several days to adapt to an intake of protein. The idea there is a limit per meal is not true. If you are used to consuming 20 grams and suddenly consume 80, then there is a chance that you are over-consuming at first. However, if you steadily consume 80 at a sitting, your body can adjust and adapt and begin to use it.

kind of just started doing it, so after a while i will get used to it then, or be able to absorb i mean
When you eat those very protein heavy meals take some bromelain. It will greatly help with the protein digestion.
whats bromelain
Bromelain is a mixture of protein-digesting enzymes found in pineapples (Ananas comosus). Bromelain supplements contain active substances that aid digestion and help reduce inflammation.
Uses
Bromelain is useful in the treatment of a wide range of conditions, but it is particularly effective in relieving inflammation associated with infection and physical injuries.
Studies have shown that bromelain may help in the treatment of the following:
Surgical Procedures and Sports Injuries
Although studies show mixed results, bromelain supplements may reduce swelling, bruising, healing time, and pain following surgery and physical injuries. In fact an authoritative body in Germany called the Commission E (similar to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved the use of bromelain for these purposes.
Wounds and Burns
Some studies of animals indicate that bromelain (applied to the surface of the skin) may be useful in removing dead tissue from third-degree burns (particularly burns that go through all layers of the skin). This application has not yet been tested on people, but traditional and current day practices in Japan, Hawaii and Taiwan include use of topical bromelain to clean wounds and burns. Similarly, some clinicians may recommend this topical agent to reduce swelling from insect bites or stings.
Nasal and Sinus Congestion
Although not all experts agree, bromelain supplements may help suppress cough, reduce nasal mucus associated with sinusitis, and relieve the swelling and inflammation caused by hay fever. Bromelain is approved by the German Commission E for the treatment of sinus and nasal swelling following ear, nose, and throat surgery or trauma.
Digestion
The protein-digesting enzymes found in bromelain help promote and maintain proper digestion and may relieve symptoms of stomach upset or heartburn, particularly when used in conjunction with other enzymes such as amylase (which digests starch) and lipase (which digests fat). Similarly, an animal study suggests that the antibacterial effects of bromelain may help to control diarrhea caused by bacteria. Studies in people are needed.
Arthritis and other Inflammatory Conditions
Bromelain supplements may be as effective as some commonly used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medications (such as ibuprofen and diclofenac) for reducing pain associated with osteoarthritis. Similarly, preliminary studies suggest that bromelain may also help reduce the pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Plus, long-standing use of bromelain suggests that this enzyme may be helpful as part of the treatment for other connective tissue disorders including scleroderma (build up of tough scar-like tissue in the skin and, at times, internal organs), bursitis, and tendinitis.
Infection
Some scientific evidence from test tubes and animals suggests that bromelain can fight against infectious agents such as viruses and bacteria. Therefore, bromelain may prove a useful addition to conventional treatment of bronchitis, pneumonia, and urinary tract infections. More research is needed.
Amyloidosis
Amyloid is a protein-like substance that can build up and cause damage to many organs in the body such as the kidneys, liver, or heart. This build-up of amyloid is called amyloidosis. In one laboratory study, researchers examined the tissue of one person with a strong family history of amyloidosis. They found that bromelain may help breakdown amyloid deposits in kidney tissue. This very preliminary finding does not indicate how this information will translate to treatment or prevention of amyloidosis for people in general. Much more research is needed.
I don't think your body can absorb that much protein in one sitting bor...
most would tell you your body can absorb up to 60grs of protein per sitting
*moved the thread for you bro!

Do not exceed 6 500 mg tabs a day. Watch the potency on bromelain too. I wouldn't exceed 3000 GDU's a day.
Wouldn't you think that the whole your body can only absorb so much protein in one sitting apply only to shakes? If your eating solid chicken as protein I would think its getting slowly broken down and absorbed throughout digestion process, so its not exactly "in one sitting".
Good point, hopefully thats true.
I literally just finished 16oz of ground beef covered with a cup of shredded sharp cheddar and 4 slices of toasted whole wheat bread. Finished about 30 mintes ago. I'm already getting hunger pains. I think your fine bro.
Again it depends on your size and how used to it you are. After a week or so you will get acustom to it. As long as you are eating 6-8 meals a day and not a couple big ones.

Im not big 5'10" 185, just trying to get used to eating a lot of protein so when I cycle the habits are already there.

No, I heard only 30 grams goes down. But you can check from a nutrition expert after getting your blood tested and stuff. They usually check your metabolism, etc and you'd get the best answer.
everyone's different.

Not true. If so i would have to eat 10 meals a day and still only get 300 grams.
I shoot for no less than 60 grams per sitting. I have up to 100 post workout. But I am also 270 lbs and used to eating alot. I had aroound 16oz of chicken 2 hours ago and I feel like I am starving to death right now.
Here's the thing.
Hunger pains just means your stomach has finished breaking down the food and moving it to the next step of digestion process. Its in the intestines that the majority of the absorption occurs. So lets say your meal above had 100g of protein total.
In the stomach the acids and digestive juices break this down into a more usable form (this is where the bromelain is most useful)
Next the food moves to the intestines where your body starts to absorb all the nutrients that it broke down. You body isn't going to absorb everything which is why most researchers guess 40g-60g of protein per meal. So of that 100g you might only absorb 55g or 60g, it will vary per meal
I keep most of my meals between 25g-40g protein and almost never go over 60g.
I've done high protein before (taking in over 60g per meal) and for the most part my ass smell like rotten eggs when doing so. Taking in smaller quantities of protein more frequently I have zero to no gas and the gas I do have smells nothing like rotten sulfurous eggs; its more like broccoli cause I eat a ton of broccoli.
The extra macro's, not just protein, will just be shit out.

I blame the gas on the eggs bro. I eat a ton of broccoli but if I don't have eggs that day the gas aint bad. If I do...well then the kids run away from me.
I dont eat eggs or vegtables. I also dont get rotten egg gas. I do know what your talking about. But I dont get it from large food amounts.
