How much protein can I absorb?

[SugarFree1]

In a very similar study, a group of Canadian researchers tracked gains in muscle mass in a group of men with approximately four years of weight-training experience [1].

Again, subjects were assigned to either a whey protein or carbohydrate-only group. Subjects in the protein group averaged a protein intake of 3.12 grams per kilogram of bodyweight (1.4 grams per pound), compared with 1.2 grams per kilogram (0.5 grams per pound) in the carbohydrate group. This time the study was a little shorter and lasted only six weeks.

Gains in lean mass were greater in the protein group, who gained 2.3 kilograms (5.1 pounds). The carbohydrate group gained only 0.9 kilograms (2 pounds).

Being a latino allows me to absorb much more protein in one sitting to create larger muscles in order to either row the boat faster or climb the fence faster.

and black people already have all the protein they need because it is produced naturally in their bodies when they excercise because their ancestors were the nation's first triathletes. this naturally occurring protein allows them to play football and basketball professionally and stuff

You blew protein all over it?

tl;dr: as much as you fukcing want.

In the most recent trial, researchers from Australia's Victoria University looked at the impact of two different levels of protein intake on gains in muscle size and strength in a group of well-trained recreational bodybuilders, all of whom had been training for around five years [6].

Do you have a link to this study? I couldn't find it on the linked webpage or from a google search.

The second study simply shows that one needs more than 1.2 g/kg. Which is below the amount that Dr. Lemon found to be optimal(1.6-1.8).

I'd be interested to see the 1st study though.

That's just about the antithesis of a link to peer-reviewed journal published research. Rather, it's an extremely primitive sales pitch for a service based on "testimonials".

Both were part of an article comparing different research studies. I posted the link to the article however its a paid membership site. I assume it can also be found elsewhere but wouldnt know exactly where.

For goodness sakes, just post the study citation.

Your body only being able to handle so much protein at once is a myth.

If it is a myth, then eating 454g of protein a day would give you 1LB of muscle gain each day.

Im sorry, but the fact is it is dependent on hormones, amount of test so signal to the body for the biomechanic process of synthesis

Go to the article and look at reference 6. It should list a study.

I've heard a lot of different things. What I think I know is that your body can only absorb 20 grams of Whey protein in an hour span.Thank you so much

I felt I had a very "in context" response to her post.
I'm kinda lost with what your'e trying to point out. It seems to be some type of extreme example. If you feel up to it, please clarify.

That's simply illogical.

Have you been eating synthetic trans fats again?

[MontyMagpie]

You won't be able to absorb every protein you put in your body, that is why we excrement some food out. This is why some animals eat their excrement. Good luck with that.

[synthetic]

That's simply illogical.

prove it is illogical.

Your assertion is that every gram of protein consumed should reflect in muscle mass gains, which anyone with even a modicum of intelligence would understand is an absurd claim to make.

Let me try to simplify it for you: the average male eats about 80 to 100 grams of protein per day. By your logic, that average male should be gaining about 1/5 of a pound of muscle mass per day, or about 400 pounds of muscle per year, every single year.

Now do you see the problem?

You made the claim the onus is on you to prove it

fine, 454g of protein in excess of maintenance of base muscle and non muscular structure. Then supposedly, you should gain 1lb of muscle per day, which still would not happen; unless synthesis factors for it exists, which even with medicated assistance is difficult to achieve

It's sad that he doesn't have the brain power to understand a subject that he has much interest in, yet has the confidence to believe that he knows what he's talking about.

[WonderPug]

^ I totally agree.

He is so passionate and yet so utterly devoid of substantive knowledge (and even basic logic) that it's astonishing. And I fear he's oblivious to his own deficits and thus confident in his imaginary capability.

meh. that's very common in real life. i'm not surprised.
