Like the title says, how much protein can you really absorb at once? I've heard numerous things and so far and I have come to believe that your body can only absorb and utilize 40g of protein at a time. Is this true? If not, then how much can you absorb?

ur a kid barely over 100lbs... You won't be able to eat enough protein in one sitting to worry about it. I've eaten over 250g in 10 minutes from pure chicken breast and it was all utilized as a point of reference for you.. When you sht out a piece of whole food I'll be the first to say you found the limit.. Till then, eat up and shut up

This issue has NOT been investigated or studied in depth.
So, we can only speculate. here is what we know:
Solid food proteins (Steak etc) and slow digesting proteins (milk etc) give your body more chance to use more of it. So you can eat a 20+ oz steak (150g protein or so) and it'll take MANY hours to fully digest and get out of your tommy.
So right there, the answer to your question is: More than 150g
It is generally believed by some authorities thou that average people don't need more than 20g per meal, because the rest will simply be shuffled and changed into something else, but it'll keep you fuller longer, and THAT is why it works for dieters. While people who work out can benefit from 40g, but no more is needed.
Biggest strongest people like Met-Rx World's Strongest Man competitors usually try to get at least 30 and at most 70g per meal.
So, I guess the answer is all over the place.Last edited by kusok; 01-18-2010 at 04:15 PM.

I am unable to post the URL as I only have 12 of the 30 forum posts to do so, but I found this on the NPR website:
Big Protein Portions Don't Mean More Muscle
By Deborah Franklin.
"They found that there seems to be a cap in the amount of protein that the typical body can use in a single sitting to make muscle. Only the first 30 grams of pure protein in a meal...Elite athletes and body builders can likely absorb a bit more protein per meal..."
