| Registered User | Whats the most protein I can absorb in one meal? How much protein can a person obsorb in one meal? I would guess around 50grams but some of my meals are almost 80-90grams protein and I think its a little overboard..but i figure overdoing protein isnt that bad of a thing. |

| IBE Representative Board Sponsor | 50g per meal X 6 meals is only 300g. Over 50 per meal is usually fine, but it depends on your size and where the protein is coming from.

| | Yeah lots of opinions on this lately. Recently, I've decided to go the safe route with supps, and that isn't just limited to protein either. Risking harm to your body just isn't worth the possible gains that you might be missing even if there would be to myself. So now I don't and won't go over 400grams anymore. That seems like plenty to me and probably still too much. Remember, total protein concsumption should be based on total LBM, not total weight. Bobo had to remind me of that again the other day. And I'm sure as hell not 250 lbs. of steel...LOL... If I ever I ever reach 300lbs. at 10%BF (which is my lifelong goal) then I will reconsider bumping up to 450-475, and that's still a big maybe.... |

| Board Supporter | I think that we will all agree that it is better to have a little less protein total, and to eat a lot of meals throughout the day (I actually eat more than 6 times). In other words, for a 180 lb guy, its better to eat 8 meals of 35 grams (280 g total) than to eat 5 meals with 60 grams each (300 g total).

| Board Supporter | What does everyone think about digestive supps? I've started taking ginger, acidophilus, and Now super enzymes. Really not sure if they're doing anything in particular, but I don't have gas as much or as badly as I used to. |

| ego killer | I usually get 6 meals at around 70-80 grams protein each, accompanied by at least 2 gallons of water per day. When I don't get that much, I feel weak.

| Registered User | I'd guess its probably an impossible question to answer because everybody is diffrent. I will say that I have been working alot of hours latley and not getting as many meals as I'd like. It was hurting my gains so I upped my protein from 50 to 75g's and It seems to have put me back on track. |

| Registered User | it would certainly be individaully variable does anybody believe that the digestive "capacity" of a 5'0 90 lb woman are the same as ronnie colemans in regards to protein? |

| Registered User | i personally dont believe there is a limit with in reason, e.g when im on a work out day i have easily eaten about 100 - 150 g of protein with in half an hour but on a non training day max i can take is about 50 - 60 it depends on how you feel. Your body will usualy say wether you have had enuff protein or not (im mainly talking actual food rather than supplements) |

| | When protein is digest, it is separated into individual amino acids. A protein can be made up of hundreds of amino acid molecules... (or is it Thousands?, whatever)... There were some very old studies saying that a maximum of 30g of protein would be digested completely by the average human digestive tract. Does that mean that if you eat 60g, 50% of it will be throwaway? By no means, since peptides, i.e. chains of a few amino acids, can be very useful to the body in its anabolic processes. OTOH, the "bad gas" from eating TOO MUCH protein is exactly that : partially digested protein that does not get absorbed. Enzymes certainly do help and one must also suppose that, like almost every other aspect of the human body, adaptation is possible, meaning that if you gradually eat more and more protein, one might make the assumption that your digestive tract will produce more and more of the required enzymes. But then again, I have zero fact on that, myself. Enzymes certainly are the key and exogenous ones will help. |

| | What's up Luna. ![]() How you been brother... I hear the exact same things regarding the supplemental enzymes. If you use 'em too often for too long you're body will supress your own bodies production. Anybody know if this is fact? |

| Pork Chop | There seems to be some debate as to whether or not supplemental enzymes actually help: http://healthlink.mcw.edu/article/971119645.html Quote:
