wow thats alot of protein, good stuff!

Yes, but the protein from gelatin is garbage.

They did this diet back in the 1950s and claimed eating gelatin was good due to its high protein... people were dying from it due to the lack of nutrients is had.

So I wouldn't even bother with it.

Gelatine;
A colorless or slightly yellow, transparent, brittle protein formed by boiling the specially prepared skin, bones, and connective tissue of animals and used in foods, drugs, and photographic film.
Any of various similar substances.

Yummy Collagen. Tendorloins from a fresh deer kill are also very tender and delicious.

i'm going to look into adding tendon into my diet. its cheap, high protein, very very low fat. i usually drop it in a stew, with other cuts of beef and veggies. or stewed and then sliced and eaten cold. the japanese also do a really good soy based stew that can be easily reheated in the microwave and thrown on top of some brown rice.



question is, how good is this protein as a protein source?

[zhouaznbrass]

i wouldnt base ur whole diet around tendon but its a low fat, low carb, high protein food. that should be enough for u to decide

its delicious too haha

Apparently its bioavailability is very low, which means your bodies ability to utilise this source for protein.

Bioavailability of Protein Types

Bioavailability refers to the protein's ability to be used by the body and it is measured by Biological Value (BV). The higher the BV, the more bioavailable the protein. The BV numbers below demonstrate how easily the body (pre-DS) can absorb these protein types. The last few protein types mentioned on the list would need to be blended to make a complete protein.

Whey blended products, BV 100-159
Whey, BV 104
Egg, BV 100
Cow's milk, BV 91
Egg white, BV 88
Beef, BV 80
Fish, BV 79
Chicken, BV 77
Casein, BV 77
Soy, BV 74
Potato, BV 71
Rice, BV 59
Wheat, BV 54
Beans, BV 49
Peanuts, BV 43

Myth or Fact: Can 30 grams of protein be absorbed at a time?

Does a person with an unaltered anatomy only absorb 30 grams of protein at a time? There is some scientific data to support this position. However it requires extrapolation of data. In a study [73] that when two groups of patients were given two different amounts of protein (30 grams and 90 grams), the amount for protein utilization as indirectly measured by muscle production (reflecting the ability to absorb protein and utilize it) did not increase or correlate with the amount of protein taken. The study concluded that it is probably more important to consume small volumes of protein more frequently versus a few meals with large protein content.
