Ive always thought the cut off point was 50-60 grams and anything over that in one sitting/shake is just a waste?
But I was just reading in the nutrition section and many of these guys seem to think that the maximum is 30 grams. That cant be right, can it?
I personally aim for 50 at every meal and consume atleast 300 grams per day.

lets say you work out 5 days a week and eat every three hours. how much protein is too much for a solid meal? and a 50g whey shake takes an hour to digest from my understanding so thats easy, just dont eat any more protein, solid or powder, within an hour of having 2 scoops of whey or it will be a waste. Im asking in general what do you think?

I eat untill I feel like puking every meal. Clean and healthy meals at that too. I never count calories/carbs/protein etc. Eat clean and alot, and what your body won't utilize immediately will be used later or excreted out. Cannot go wrong either way.

This does not work for everyone. I got a friend very similar to you same height and mesomorphic build. Although instead of eating clean he eats a lot of junk food most the time and never gets fat.
His life revolves around when he will take is next dump, charming trade off.
I can get very fat very quick eating clean and did so with stretch marks as a result. People process food differently.

I usually try to stay around 35-45g an hour. There is no exact amount. Every person is different with weight, and how efficient their body is when absorbing protein. I've never seen an exact number. But I don't think you can eat as much protein as you can and your body will use it later. Then you could just eat/chug 250g in a few hours(if you don't puke that is), and you'd be good all day.

I hope that is true... but it doesn't seem possible to me. If you chugged protein all day long non-stop, alot of that junk is going to be used for energy or stored as fat for energy later. Protein isnt a magical macro that automatically turns into muscle, its first use will be for energy just like anything else. Long story short, we dont know so just eat all the damn protein you want!!

What I've heard the average person can absorb about 25 grams of protein for one meal. It's personal, some people can absorb more some people less. And the protein that is not absorbed can be stored as fat.
Supplement companies recommend to take 2 grams of protein per kilo of body weight. I think it's insane. When I was taking protein in that dose I used to take a **** like three times per day. Taking a large amount of protein is unhealthy. It's bad for one's liver and kidneys. Of course, it's not about natural food. A piece of chicken is way better than two protein shakes.

This one time I ate a giant steak (it had like 150 grams of protein) and when I went to shit about half of the steak came out, completely undigested. Like, you could see the steak.
So... I'd say don't eat more that 75 grams of protein or you'll have to sift through your shit and re-eat it.Look under your chair. YOU GET A REP, AND YOU GET A REP, REPS FOR EVERYONE! If I get a rep, you get a rep, every time. Give me a link to make my life a little easier.
If you don't give me a link and you didn't post in the thread you rep'd me in, I'm not gonna go searching for you. I'll get everyone on recharge.
