Too much protein in one meal while cutting?

[big fig]

In my other thread some people are saying 80 grams of protein in a meal is too much for my body to take at once. True?

I'd think it depends on how much muscle mass you have. 80 seems like a waste to me.

Damn this sucks. Looks like I'm going to have to switch things around in my diet.

If you do that before lifting your body will find good use of it =). It'll work with it instead of breaking down your muscles, but eating that much protein in one meal won't nec. make u build muscle any faster (it'll help), but it will def help you retain it lol....

What the hell are you eating? =P

I try to keep my protein under 60g per meal. 80g is a little too much for my body dimensions..

That one meal is 2 cans albacore tuna 1 potatoe and 1 cup broccoli. Actually, it's a few calories less than 80. 78 or something.

It's the meal before my pre workout meal. My meal before my workout is only 30 grams of protein. Should I put 1 can of tuna in that meal? That meal is 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1 cup kidney beans, and 1 cup nonfat milk.

I could be wrong, but I thought that I read somewhere that the human boday can only consume a certain amount of protein per hour.

You are correct, for my body dimensions (weight, height, age, etc..) I can consume around 45g protein per hour. However some foods that I eat come in specific sizes that I can't change easily, so they provide up to 60g of protein. So in the end some of it may be wasted, however I usually stick around the 45g mark for each of my meals...

Both of the posters are above are correct. However having a good supply of protein in your body while working out is not bad either. I think the point I was trying to make is I don't quiet see how this could harm your body... Just maybe a lil wasteful of the protein.

Where did you get the 45g number based on body dimensions? Is there a site for that? Thanks.
