protein question

[big.nad]

is there a maximum amount of protein that ur body can absorbe at 1 time?

if so, how much?

 

[Nathan]

I have heard all sorts of things but I typically assume 30g is a good protein goal for a meal. If you eat 7 times a day, you end up getting about 210g of protein, which for me is slightly over 1g/lb of bodyweight which is often touted as a good goal to aim for.

A while ago I heard from a (maybe unreliable) source saying that 50g could typically be taken in per sitting 6x day, I'm unsure what the time is that would take and its certainly dependant on how slow the protein is asbsorbed.

Just eat your bodyweight, like nathan said, and you'll be fine. If you eat more and stay within your goals I don't see it being a problem. I probably eat about 300g of protein a day just because I love meat.. :x

I have also heard 50gs. And yes.. everyone knows poysyn loves meat.

yea, ditto on beef cake nate,
Studies after studies show differing amounts yada yada

I wouldn't go over 50 at a time.. Especially with fast whey or soy
Otherwise you will have a jacked toilet

Yeah I can't take in too much at a time otherwise it kills me coming out and I don't think I am anywhere near 1g/lb or 50g per sitting

 

[yoop33]

ok I take it back.... I guess I didn't realize I was drinking 32g as I was typing that last one. So maybe I do get in 1g/lb

I like them. When you cant hear them, then the girl i'm with freaks out at me. then i laugh. but ya, i'd say 1g/lb as well, maybe up to 1.5g/lb when bulking.
