To Many Protein shakes?????

[MUSTANG_18]

There is no set amount that your body can or can't digest. I myself take in 3 shakes a day and 1 MRP and get the rest from whole foods. I never take just a shake for a meal except right before bed. I always have some form of whole food everytime I eat. Do what works best for you

I gotta go with M18 here. With his marvelous suggestion of adding ginger root, I think this may help with protein absorption/digestion. If everyone reacted the same way, there would only be one training/diet program for us to follow. But since we dont it's all about Mix n' match.

M18 if your talking about how much your body can absorb as a whole in ONE day then your right. But the body can only take so much protein at a time.. 50g whey protein is about the limit.

Also BJA just alike The Mann said get most of your protein from foods. You'll see better results from food protein (chicken, steak) then you will from shakes all day.

Where did you get that info ? I am sure some people can digest more then 50g's at once siyting and I am sure there are people who can't even digest that much. Everyone is diffrent so there is no set limit

I work at a gym with a number of CPT's.. college degree quality. I also talk to many people in the supplement industry all the time..
and have read many articles

and my doctor told me ..

One way to look at it is if you do a really intense work out then your body is going to be craving protein and you can down 60g whey very easily. But in general you can't just have 100g protein mid-morning and expect your body to take it all in.. even after a workout that would be alot. It goes to waste.

That is true....you can't just down 100grams and expect to digest it all but no matter how many doctors or people in general you talk to, you can't set a specific limit on the amount of protein that one can digest at a time. There are factors to put into consideration

I'm in the 3 meals/3 shakes + snacks group. I like to munch on nuts between real meals. I understand your desire to cut back on carbs but keep in mind that carbs are required to properly break down protein. I think you'd be a lot better of with an MRP rather than a strictly protein shake.

yeah you won't digest it all.. but where is it gonna go? no where.. it's gonna sit in your stomach until you can digest it.. so I dont' see the problem of eatting 100 g of protein at a sitting..
