The biggest protein myth is that you can only digest 30 grams of
protein at one time. Find out what's wrong with this belief and just
how much protein you need. This is a common question. I also get
variations such as, how much protein can you digest at one time?
There are two ways to answer this, because there really two questions
being asked.
1) How much protein can the digestive system physically absorb into
the bloodstream from a meal?
And the MORE IMPORTANT QUESTION...
2) How much protein can you body actually utilize?
The answers...
1) About 95% and higher, unless you have some type of digestive
system malfunction.
So if you get convinced by supplement companies to drink a 42g
protein shake in 5 minutes, you'll still probably absorb at 38 or
more grams of that protein.
Your muscle growth is not limited by the amount of protein you can
DIGEST or ABSORB.
Your muscle growth IS LIMITED by the amount of protein that your body
can utilize for protein synthesis.
So the answer to #2......
