it varies from person to person depending on activity level also
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

A compound found in winstrol does infact interact negatively with *****. Apparently when they mix in the digestive system they create a foaming reaction (kinda like diet coke and mentos - youtube it). Ever seen a seagull pop?-Hatetank

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.

I go for 20g with meals and 40g post-workout.
I got my info from T-Nation

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.
