Protein Intake?

Recommended Daily Allowance is 0.8 grams per every 2.2 lbs of body weight. I think most people trying to build muscle shoot for 1 to 1.5 grams per lb of body weight. I think I saw somewhere the body can only absorb 35-40 grs per meal.

I take in about 280 grams from shakes... The rest comes from natural foods... not sure how much though..

I aim for about 400 per day. Half from powder and the remainder from chicken, steak, tuna, and other dietary sources.

I shoot for around 300g protein/day (I weigh 190 at 10%). I split up the protein into 8 meals... so thats about 35-40g of protein per meal.

I've searched the internet for protein absorbtion for a long time. And I couldnt find any studies that say how much the body can absorb at one time. Plus, not all protein powders have what they say they have per serving. So to stay on the safe side, I just do 2 scoops of 20g at one time.

20g a scoup, and if you do two at once, it's 40. 300g/40=7 times a day. Which is more than I can handle.
