is it true about how much protein your body can absorb per meal

[X MidnightSon X]

my friend on my wrestlign team told me that your body per meal can only absorb 27-30 G's of protein, is this true?

if bodybuilding was that simple, we would all be huge and ripped.

i've heard probably 5 different things varying from 20-30g per meal, 40-50g per meal, unlimited, to .8 g/bodyweight divided by total number of meals.

just test it out, i think you will find that about 1g per pound of bodyweight divided by the number of meals you eat is decent

Well all I know is that I consume alot of protein in each meal atleast 30-40grams and normally at the end of my day 50-60grams.

I find it works but it may be an overload on my kidneys.

Diets high in protein are fine as long as you make sure you get enough water in.

1-2 gallons a day should do it.
