FIT Protein absorption?

[Penetration]

Just wondering what the consensus is for this, I weight about 165lbs and take in ~25-30 grams per regular shake, ~40-50 after a hard workout. What can the body efficiently process at once?

larger meals just stay in the gut longer

to suggest otherwise would mean you would shit undigested food if you ate enough

Absorption rates here - http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/nu...ces-of-protein-speed-of-digestion-part-2.html

it isn't a certain number of grams per sitting, but how many grams you digest per hour. You're not going to shit out a bunch of protein if you eat a lot of it, as Ceaze said, it will just take longer to digest.

iirc I came across an article differentiating between people who consumed protein (both groups totaled the same grams of protein) every 3 hours and every 5 hours of the day, and the researchers found that the people who consumed protein every 5 hours had greater protein uptake into the cell.


I'll see if I can find that article, I'm certain it was '08 or '09.

You absorb 100%. What you need to ask is how much you are utilizing. You need to learn more about nutrition and your body before you can receive the answer my son.
