How to hit 200G of protein if body can asorb 30G at a time

[kool_kid_86]

I'm 5"7' 150lbs, and am trying to hit 200G of protein. I was reading that the body can only adsorb up to 30G of protein in one sitting. As a result, I would need to have 7 meals per day.

I know there are others who have a much higher protein intake then myself, so I am wondering how do they consume so much protein in one day? What happens to a builder who is 225lbs and consumes 300G of protein in one day? How do they do that if the body can adsorb 30G of protein in one sitting.

You only need .8g/lb for protein. 200g is way too much.

Strong broscience. Remember to drink your post protein shake 15 minutes after lifting as well. That anobolic window makes or breaks gains

I've been using the Protein Calc at bodybuilding.com which suggested that I take between 150g to 225g.

You need to read the stickies in the nutrition section and figure out your actual necessary macros.

C'mon man.

200g isn't an outrageous number.

However, forget the notion about your body only absorbing 30g at a time. Just get in however much you want at once and hit your daily goal.

Gotta love Bro science.

This.
I eat 60g per sitting 5-6 times a day.

Trolling???

[Kuni123]

just think about it for a bit, no mad science here, no need to overcomplicate

for example if u eat a big steak worth 100g protein, u think ur body will only take 30g of it???
what about the ppl that only eat 2-3 meals a day?
and so on.

no offense, but u're reading the wrong stuff

[changemyoil66]

OP just because you eat 30g, doesn't mean your body absorbed all 30g.

the 30 gram logic used to be popularly exaggerated, but at this point so is everyone saying its completely irrelevant. foods take time to break down but protein supps do benefit from whey/casein blends.

The absorbtion rate at 30 grams is false. That is a myth that unfortunately won't go away.

[longhorns_p]

Eat 9 meals a day brah

[jtaylor2010]

There are lots of different strategies for conquering the 30 gram hurdle. What's more important though is switching up the timing and foods so your muscles don't catch on to what you're doing. If you don't confuse your body then your genetics will catch on and stop making gainz because it will realize you're trying to defy nature.

The scientific research isn't about how much protein you can use per sitting...it's about how much body you can absorb per hour which is 10 using the best stuff. Certain proteins digest slower but will still be in your system.

Taking more protein will sometimes just add weight and not always go to your muscles. It would be stored for later use.

I don't see how anyone would need more than 240 grams of protein a day since that's about the MAX your body will absorb in 24 hours unless you are trying to maintain a certain weight ABOVE 240 pounds. Assuming there is 100-150 calories in your protein drink...that's anywhere from 1000 calories - 1500 calories in protein alone if you take 10 scoops. Some big guys load in 2-3 scoops. It would take 8 servings of 30g scoops to get 240 grams of protein without food.

Awhile back I used to take 4 scoops of ON Whey @ 25 grams x4 = 100g of protein and sip on it all throughout the day. I honestly can say doing that was gave me ALOT of gas.

Now... I simply take anywhere from 30g to 20g of different proteins whenever I feel like it. I think the more often you take it, the easier on your stomach it might be. The other night I took about 50g at once and went right to sleep.

Where did you get this info? Lol it's absurd.

[powercage]

230g+ of protein a day crew checking in

[alphaproject]

It's not absurd. Google protein synthesis. No one is saying you CANNOT eat or consume more than 30g at once or it's wasted.
Powercage in here gets 230+ grams.... that's a good amount for a 24 hour period. The body can only do what it's capable of.

I actually just ingested about 74g of protein in 4 hours and now I'm going to bed. I'm sure at least 40g of that will go right to repairing my muscle but as far as the other grams...who knows. Maybe it will add some weight....to be used later.

I know what protein synthesis is, but where are you getting your info? Lol you're just making claims you have no clue the actual answer to. "40g right to repaing" - "max 240g in a day" these are claims that you have no idea.

[DirtyTrickster]

I eat my protein 1 gram at a time

[CodyHill4]

I think where the confusion lies is simply in terminology

The body can use, process, and absorb as much protein you throw at it whether thats 5g, 25g, 30g, or 80g in a single meal.

What people want to know is how much protein should be taken in for the body to utilize it and stimulate MPS. This is just off the top of my head so please correct me if Im wrong but if I remember correctly its upwards of 3.5g of leucine which is roughly 25-30g of protein - thats usually enough to stimulate mps.

Doesn't mean you can't take more and its magically going to be stored as fat.

There are so many factors that play into how much protein you should take in... age, training history, goals, etc

You couldn't be any more wrong about everything. Eating over your caloric maintenance is what makes you gain weight, not grams of protein.

So I should start blowing lines of whey through out my day instead of a post work out shake? I mean, it'll absorb quicker.....

In my gym, people drink whey shakes from their cool-looking shaker bottle as soon as they drop the dumbbell they were using in their last exercise. It's pretty funny.
