Is there a limit to how much protein your body can utilize at one time?

[BangBrahs]

Let's say I had a protein powder that had 100g of protein. If I drank a serving straight down, would my body use all of it?

I read somewhere that your digestive system can only handle 50-60g of protein at a time.

Your digestive system can handle practically any amount.

As for what you can utilize, there's no fixed limit. Rumor used to have it at 30 or 40g, but this not the case. You might find this article helpful; see Myth #2: http://www.hypertrophy-specific.com/...teinmyths.html
