Is there any point in taking large amounts of protein in your shakes at one time? For example, 3 scoops of my protein in one shake is about 66g of protein. but can your body use/handle all of that at one time? IP: Logged |

Stick to 50g at the most. I have no scientific evidence of this, it just seems like common sense. Take in 1.5g of protein for every pound of body weight and spread it throughout the day. I try to take about 30g at a time, except after my workout a double shake. This makes sense because after your workout your body is depleted and will absorb more to replenish itself. Shakes are good after your workout, try to get some from meals. Eat egg whites, steak, chicken breast, and then tuna or peanut butter sandwiches for snacks. Then throw in a shake in the morning and one at night and you should be good. IP: Logged |

No, unless you are taking Decca your body can only synthesis about 30-50 grams of protein every three hours, (depending on certain variables such as weight, age, your metabolism, etc...). If you go over that you are just throwing your money down the toliet. IP: Logged |

Yes definitely keep the protein down around 30-50 grams per shake and drink several small shakes spread throughout the day rather than one or two large ones. The body will only assimilate the amino acids it needs at any given time and it has no means of storing them. Any excess is just converted to fat or glucose. Protein is expensive and glucose and fat are cheap, so if you're looking for calories then protein is not an economical source. Even more importantly, the metabolism of excessive protein can put an unhealthy strain on the kidneys. IP: Logged |
