This depends largely upon what one consumes. I don't remember the exact numbers, but something like 60 percent of the available protein in beef can be utilized versus something like 90 percent of the available protein from eggs. So, one might get 9 grams of protein out of 10 grams of protein from an egg versus only 6 grams of protein out of 10 grams of protein from beef.

Sound about right folks?

you will digest all of it, use what you need, and store or excrete the rest. there is no set number on how much you are capable of using at any given time. it varies.
