Protien Intake Limits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[4beesinmv]

Correct me if I'am wrong, but I have heard and read many places than approx. 30 grams of protien are about all your body can absorb in one sitting. So why do I also see many posts about people consuming 50,60 even some talking about 100 grams at one time, are they just ignorant or am I ?

please do a little searching and research before someone really lays it on you.

Thanks for the useless info. 90% of the threads are the same old questions that have been asked 100xs, so whats one more. I told you I have gotten many different opinions, so I was looking for any current info. from people who may not have posted before. But thanks anyways!

Myth #2:


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


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 about 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.

my post isnt current info, its common info. not all info is found in the forum there is also a section of the site named 1000's of articles. in which they have 1000's of articles all relating to supplements, nutrition and bodybuilding. search there too.

I was not trying to be rude in any way. I apoligize if it came off that way. I was just saying that most of the time I spend on here is me just searching through forums that I have questions on. The search option on this website is VERY useful. I apoligize if it came out rude. Good luck!

[R_N_S]

Correct me if I'am wrong

you're wrong, but there's no set limit. Just be reasonable, you dont want to be eating pure protein at one meal anyway unless you're on a strict cut. Add in carbs and fats, and it doesnt make much sense to eat 2000 calories at once does it? In which case your macros will all be in a reasonable level.

Thanks for the detailed info.

[jsweetness]

there is a general limit and last i heard it was something like your body cannot process more then 50-60g of protein per 90min. thats what ive heard numerous times for the last couple years.

It's cool bro. I'am just a cranky old f***. who gets lost looking through all the old posts, and wanted a quick and easy answer! no need to apoligize.

Also, don't forget that not all proteins are available and absorbed by the body at the same rate. Whey is easily digested and is largely used and out in around an hour, while a nice juicy piece of steak will take hours to break down and be absorbed. When you factor this in and realize that the uptake is spread across time, you can understand why only 30gms at once is a joke.
Good luck!

Yeah I thought it was more like 50 grams at a time was the max you can do.

did Heath even lift in 2005?

Because this thread got bumped from 5 years ago; I will respond to this reply.

Phil Heath starting lifting hardcore in 2002.

It was more of an attempt to emphasize how old this thread is and in turn illustrate the brute strength of this bump, than curiosity.

I send my apologies then. I agree that it is an extremely old thread and should have never been resurrected.
