no one knows how much protein one can "successfully absorb" in a given meal. however most weightlifters stick to about 30-50g per meal and that seems to do just fine.

Your body can only consume from a range of 20-30g protein at a time.
Please dont take the above posters advice.

I take in 50-60 grams per meal..."The world will look up and shout save us... And I'll whisper, no."

I always thought between 30-50 was a safe bet...
Thats why you see people taking 2 scoops of whey at a time for 42 grams of protein.

It's fine. There are no scientific evidence that there is a set amount of protein absorption per meal. The people above are going by "broscience" and nothing more.Originally Posted by Dracoy

it varies from person to person depending on activity level alsoOriginally Posted by utopia
there is NO SET AMOUNT
the " your body can only consume" *set amount of grams* at a time is misleading
is that for people who dont work out, people who work out often? people who are bodybuilding?
the amount varies from 20g-60g in some people(man approaches after I finish squatting 135 for 5 reps as a warmup and says) "squats cause hemmroids dude." - helix35

Really, it's different for everybody. Over time, your body can adapt and absorb more protein at one time. At first it might be only about 25-30, but over time your body may be able to absorb up to 50g at one time. You really think the 300lb bodybuilders can only absorb 20-30 grams at one time? They would have to eat at least ten meals to get the 300g of protein that they need. Again, everyone's different.

Cutting i stick with 50 grams per meal...

I go for 20g with meals and 40g post-workout.
I got my info from T-Nation
http://www.t-nation.com/article/body...n_top_tips&cr=
4. How Much Protein?
The easiest way to remember how much protein to consume is via the formula ? 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. Hence, a 200 pound individual needs about 200 grams of protein. How much at a sitting? Well, there are studies in which levels of 30 grams of protein are fed to subjects, and this amount produces a tremendous rise in blood amino acid levels.
I'd imagine that 30 grams of protein per meal is a good starting point. If you eat 30 grams a sitting and you eat 6 times daily, that's about 180 grams of protein. But imagine if you're a 300 lb. football player or bodybuilder. You'd either have to eat more protein per sitting or just eat more meals. The answer to this problem? Consume meal replacement powders as a protein supplement.

No offense of course, but T-Nation is not 100% accurate. There are absolutely no studies done to prove there is a cap on protein absorption. Yes, there are studies with small amounts, but none with megadosed amounts.Originally Posted by echelon101
