How much protein can u absorb at 1 time

[the letter X]

How much protein can u take in at 1 time. I heard it was 50 once. Also how much is 1 time like a hour?

It's entirely dependent on the individual. Some can only metabolize 40g at a sitting, others can process 100+.

im 155 pounds and have a fast metablosim so i can absorb a lot?

I'd stick with 1.25-1.5g/lb for a while.

Your total protein for the day should be between 155 and 310 grams (Personally I would aim for around 230). Now divide that by the number of meals you eat per day (hopefully atleast 5) and THATS how much you should eat per meal.

It all depends, height, weight, foods, genetics. On average u can absorb about 40-50 grams in one sitting(about 2-2 1/2 hours)

1g of protien per pound of lean body mass. there if im 180lbs, 180grams of protien through the day. split between 6 meals, and i get 30g of protien per meal. AVG: 25-40g of protien for a teen. no more.

Yes more.

55.153g

Its too hard to tell as it varies between individuals. A lot depends on critical variables such as hormonal balance, intensity and frequency of exercise, timing of meals and the overall nutritional composition, including the protein’s biological value (BV).

....the blind leading the mother pooping blind, you can only absorb around 15g's of protein at a time, 20 max

[warrenpeace]

Yes more.

of course u can have more. i take 1.5 to 2g per pound.

[No1zSaif]

who cares? no more then 100 and you can always consume the same again in about 40 minutes... if you really wanted then again if your body has no need for it, then it will just **** it out or turn it into fat.

Myth #2: You can only assimilate 30 grams of protein at one sitting.

Fact: The body has the ability to digest and assimilate much more than 30 grams of protein from a single meal.

Speaking of high intakes of protein, people have been perpetuating the myth that you can only assimilate ~30 grams of protein at a time, making protein meals any greater than a 6 oz. chicken breast a waste. This is anything but true. For example, the digestibility of meat (i.e. beef, poultry, pork and fish) is about 97% efficient. If you eat 25 grams of beef, you will absorb into the blood stream 97% of the protein in that piece of meat. If, on the other hand, you eat a 10 oz steak containing about 60 grams of protein, you will again digest and absorb 97% of the protein. If you could only assimilate 30 grams of protein at a time, why would researchers be using in excess of 40 grams of protein to stimulate muscle growth?1

Critics of high protein intakes may try to point out that increased protein intake only leads to increased protein oxidation. This is true, nevertheless, some researchers speculate that this increase in protein oxidation following high protein intakes may initiate something they call the "anabolic drive".13 The anabolic drive is characterized by hyperaminoacidemia, an increase in both protein synthesis and breakdown with an overall positive nitrogen balance. In animals, there is a correspondent increase in anabolic hormones such as IGF-1 and GH. Though this response is difficult to identify in humans, an increase in lean tissue accretion does occur with exaggerated protein intakes.14,15

The take home message is that, if you are going to maximize muscle growth you have to minimize muscle loss, and maximize protein synthesis. Research clearly shows this is accomplished with heavy training, adequate calories, and very importantly high protein consumption. This means that meals containing more than 30 grams of protein will be the norm. Not to worry, all that protein will certainly be used effectively by the body.

........ if this was true people would have to eat 12+ times a day to get enough protein in.

..... follow your own advice and don't say anything.

Maybe you should read some of the posts in that thread.

From the same guy who wrote the thesis

The concern of the panel was mainly regarding female athletes and specifically, the female triad (ammenorrhea, eating disorder and decreased bone density). The concern was that there was an ancedotal increasing trend in female athletes (particularly in sports where aesthetics are of higher "importance) to consume higher amounts of protein to lose weight, and substitute carbs and fats with protein (i.e. the mass of food either doesn't change or decreases, but the proportions of proteins, carbs and fats shifts dramatically to the protein side). Not only are there observations of female triads, but many of these athletes are not meeting their energy requirements for performance because protein is not a good primary energy source of high performance athletes.

Are you a female athlete trying to lose weight?

"a) there is a plateau effect of protein synthesis with respect to the amount of protein consumed (i.e. dose response). That is, consuming higher than 10-15 g of protein post-workout did not result in a substantial increase in protein synthesis. Practice modification: Stop consuming 20-40g of protein in your post-workout drinks."


"In the long term, basically, just one take home message:

a) the protein synthesis response becomes blunted with chronic training, BUT the dose-response plateau still occurs at about 10 grams. Therefore, higher doses of protein do not "correct" for the blunting. Practice modification: Periods of de-training may be more essential than we realized with respect not only to performance and avoidance of over-training/over-reaching, but also with respect to protein synthesis. This makes intuitive sense, but very few "casual athletes" realize this."

"It's not whether the protein can be processed or not, the issue here is very narrow--much more narrow than I think we have been discussing. The issue here is the effect of protein ingestion following a weight workout on net protein synthesis, and whether more protein consumption has any greater effect on net protein synthesis; and the answer seems to be that past 10g of protein, there is no significant additional increase in net protein synthesis."


What that article is basicaly saying that after 10-15 grams, the protein you consume is not used in muscle synthesis, not that its not used entirely.

I think we might have to agree to disagree on this one, much like creatine discusions on loading, cycling, and all that other chizaz(which you dont need either of
