protein sources and volume

[chodan9]

Hey all,

I know the general consesus is 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body mass is optimal. I have a question about that though.
I have seen some posts where they claim whole food sources are superior and others that claim that the better absorption of supps like micronized whey is better.
does the 1-1.5 grams per pound take into account how well you absorb it?
someone told me that with meat you lose almost %80 or the protein whereas micronized whey you only lose around %20.
I'm just curious what the consesus here is.
Thanks and reps!

whey protein is a fast absorbing protein source and is therefore used immediatly pwo

all other meals should include solid slow release protein sources such as chicken, meat eggs etc

that 80% statistic is cr*p

x2. Count the protein intake, there's no way you can find out how much your body digests.
