How much protein can you absorb in 1 meal? How frequent?

I've heard you can only absorb 30-50g of protein in 1 meal. Is this correct?

How much time between meals before you can take your next 50g load of protein?

Only answer if you know. Thanks boyos!

No. You will absorb pretty much any amount of protein. The question is how much protein is optimal for triggering a muscle protein synthesis (MPS) response.

It would seem around 0.4g per kg (which works out at around 30-40g for an average dude) is around optimal, and more than this in one serving does not contribute to any additional MPS response.

So IF brahs might not be optimising their gains because all that protein in one meal is not being used to stimulate growth versus smaller meals spread out through the day.

How could less protein be better lmao. Muscles fibers rip, eat tons of protein, it uses what it needs to repair. Fkin lol at limiting to 30g for "triggering muscle protein synthetis"

And then how soon after can I do another 40gs? (I weight 225lbs, 100kg)

I have done everything from 6 meals to day to currently just 3 meals.

Absolutely zero difference in gains/performance so I'm inclined to believe it does not matter at all how much per meal. Just get your recommended protein in during the day however you can.

No you retard, it's 30-40g per sitting/meal. And then 4 or so meals a day roughly. That is superior for stimulating growth to eating all your day's protein in one meal. Or so the evidence suggests.

Probably every 3 hours or so.

if thats your photo you dnt need more muscle growth


for max recovery, its not about protien, its about the following

sleep well
eat well
dont smoke
dnt drink
rest
hydrating
vitamins


for max lean muscle growth

eat right "your rda"
dont over workout

and no running 3 to 6 miles a day dont make you lose muscle
