Snapper55 Amateur Bodybuilder (Total posts: 5)	posted June 01, 2000 07:27 PM hey, I need to know this: how many grams of protien does the body take in per sitting, and how long should you wait between taking protien...for example, if I were to drink a shake with a meal and get about 50-60 grams, howlong should I wait before taking another 50-60 grams? Ive heard three hours, but when I hear people talking about 300-350 grams a day, the "every three hour thing" I go on now wouldnt work...if anyone knows how often I should take protien, please respond!!!

I have seen figures ranging from 30 grams up to 50 grams. I think it is different for each person. If you have more muscle mass or quick metabolism this might put you at the higher range. As for how many hours to spread it out, around 3 sounds about right especially if you are trying to eat 5 to 6 meals a day. IP: Logged
