The souce i was quoting was the course textbook from ISSA for personal trainer certification. I do agree that different people may have different absorption rates/tolerances/etc, but it was the general guideline they taught.

I also think the protein source matters. The boire study found a substantial amount of the aminos from whey isolate were converted to glucose, probably due to the extremely rapid absorption and drammatic influx of aminos. The amino acid pool only has a limited capability to "store" amino acids without converting them to fat, glucose or excreting them. Whereas, a caseinate(or milk isolate) forms a gel in the stomach and the casomorphins slow it's movement through the digestive system which results in a sustained release of aminos into the system. Note that Boire found a substantial anabolic resposonse from caseinates, just not as much as from whey. However, the body remained in an anabolic state for a much longer period of time. Basically, the point of my long winded response is that a bodybuilder can actually utilize less whey protein Vs. a casein heavy protein at a higher protein intake per sitting. that's not to say one couldn't get away with consuming smaller but more frequent feeding of whey Vs. casein.

Exceed a threshold amount of whey protein and it gets converted to glucose due to its rapid absorption. Consuming a casein based protein causes less of an anabolic response but it lasts longer. Therefore, consuming smaller feedings of whey more frequently may prevent the conversion to glucose. Clear enough?
