How much protein can be absorbed in one sitting?

[MadArabianBro]

I'm asking because I usually eat 700g chicken breast at a time, which is 100g protein.

I've heard that you can only absorb 50g protein at a time, so I would have to spread out eating the chicken into 2 meals, is this true? or is there no limit in amounts of protein which can be digested?

[ToolTime2120]

Yeah I've also heard about 40-50, but don't know if thats 100% confirmed

[MrB1g]

Take your protein intake for the day and split it into any number of meals and you're fine.

[ANIMALISTIKZ]

40-50g is a fkin myth lol. regardless the protein will be absorbed, it is not wasted, it will just take longer for the body to do so if greater amounts are ate in one sitting

[DDon1996]

Eat half the chicken, stand up, and sit back down.


Derp.

In all srsness though would I be good to eat the entire 100g of protein in one meal or would it be smarter to split it in 2?

Doesn't really matter.

[proxy561]

I think its all about body weight. If you weigh more you can absorb more in one sitting. Not sure on weight to protein ratio tho.

[ForGreece]

Doesnt matter.

[ProBB123]

No, there's no limit to how much protein you can eat in one meal. You could eat a whole days worth of protein in one sitting, and it will ALL get used.. eventually.

I've heared that 40g, not I'm not sure cause everyone is different.. Some people will say that you'll absorb it all, lol.. That as long as you are hitting you're macros bla bla bla.. just cause the Nutrition forum stickies say that doesn't mean it is.

[Suplexdeath]

ive heard thats really only with supplements. your body absorbs shakes really fast but your body has to thoroughly digest chicken breast

Calm down it's reputation on an internet forum

thou furious?

[Cr3echer]

I've read a medical article that only 17 g of protein can be absorbed in an hour, but as time goes on more and more is absorbed. (can't find link atm)

Also, the general BROscience is that its 50 grams of protein in a sitting.

But tbh, I don't believe that that many studies have been done on it, so why risk wasting some of the protein? Just break it up into 2 different meals.

I'll help ya out a little

[Socalchoirboy]

It makes more sense, IMO, that it's better to split meals than to eat the protein all at once, in one sitting. I don't think my liver could support all of my macros from one day, in one meal. Brb 220g protein, 300g carbs, 100g~fat. I wish they had studies on this to clear it out. I don't know how good my liver is at processing protein, etc, if it can only process 50g an hour, or if it can do 200g an hour, who knows.
