Protein

[Ryno23]

how much protein can your body absorb at a time?..i have heard only 40-50 grams

 

[chaos13]

most ppl absorb 50-54.

depends on the state your body is in. we as bodybuilders take so much protein so that at any given moment we have at least the maximum amount available that our body can utilize. I can't recall of the top of my head the exact number but it is significantly less than 40grams. This doesn't mean we shouldn't consume this much in a sitting. It is advantageous for us to always have protein in our system for the times our body needs it.
