I heard the body can only consume 30g of protein in one sitting, and the rest gets pissed out..
So if you take in 30g, how long do u have to wait until you take in 30g again?

It varies from several factors as far as I know. Anywhere from 40-80g.

It varies depending on your weight, metabolism, activity level, when you last ate protein, what your body needs, what type of protein, etc..... there is no set number.

Why would it hurt? You're body would just rid itself of the excess nitrogen. Plus nitrogen has a way of sort of gathering into ammonia in the body, and urination is how the body rids itself of this and excess nitrogen in general.Originally Posted by EarlSimmons88

Having protein in your urine can be an early sign of real failure. When consuming high amounts of protein, be sure to drink a lot of water to flush that out. It costs a lot of energy for the body to break down protein.. and a bi product of the waste is nitrogen. Nitrogen at higher than normal levels can cause a whole slew of problems.
To sum it up.... be sure your getting a lot of fluid!

I read a consumer reports article on protein powder from July 2010 (assuming most of you have) and it said the body can at most absorb 5-9g protein / hour.
That means the body aborbs between 5 * 24 - 9 * 24 = 120 - 216 g protein / 24 hours. Now if this were true, I would assume us teenage bodybuilders would be near the high end of this scale. So I would probably stick to 25 g protein / 3 hours? In a day with 6 meals that ends up being about 150g protein over 15 hours. (175g if one were to have another 25g of protein in that last hour before 8 hours of sleep).
I am no doctor, but I trust consumer reports on this one as they did a thorough investigation with toxicologists and endocrinologists.
"Not so, says Kathleen Laquale, a licensed nutritionist and certified athletic trainer. "The body can only break down 5 to 9 grams of protein per hour, and any excess that is not burned for energy is converted to fat or excreted, so it's a ridiculous waste to be recommending so much more than you really need," she says."
Cant post to the article, because I'm still a forum newb
