How much protein can the body process at a time?
I heard it was around 30g, then heard that it was all broscience and doesn't matter. I usually have two protein shakes a day - two scoops in each one, which brings it to about 50g a shake. Is it better to instead be having four with 25g protein in each, spaced out through the day a bit more?
I've made muscle gains but also put on a bit of fat despite eating well and not being that far over maintenance, and now I'm starting to think it's because I'm getting 50g protein a shake, and only 30g of that is actually doing anything whilst the other 20g gets....stored as fat or something?
Really confused about this, heard conflicting things, so if someone could clear it up I'd be grateful.
