| Registered User | Amount of Protein that can be absorbed I have always heard 40g every 2 hours and your body couldn't absorb and more. Lately I have been reading that some guys take up to 60g with a meal, also I've read that guys take it every hour/hour and a half. I was talking to my nutritionist about my gas and he said I am taking too much protein at one time. Anyone got opinions. |

| ego killer | i bumped my protein up to around 500 grams a day about a year ago. was aiming for about 80 grams, 6 times per day. had gas real bad for couple weeks, then it went away and the weight started packing on. i've gone as low as 350 grams a day and didn't notice any drastic changes. nowadays, i'm around 400-450. i think once your body adapts to the extra protein, it will start to utilize more of it. once again, no studies for this, just my experience. 155lbs incline dumbbells x 9 http://youtube.com/watch?v=Z4vGkrhSSSA 585lbs squat x 2 http://youtube.com/watch?v=q0rpQLZT1I0 1400lbs leg press x 10 http://youtube.com/watch?v=67DXswA8w14 |

| Registered User | the gas will go away as your body get used to increased protien intake. I have heard 40grams every 2 hours as well. |

| Registered User | I would add that this number will vary from 1 person to another, depending on the size. |

| Anabolic Innovations Owner Board Sponsor | Depends if you are on AS or not. AS increases your ability to utilize protein so IMO if you are on you might as well get in as much protein as possible. |

| Greatest Prospector in the Land Board Administrator | No it does not. AAS has zero to do with how much protein you can absord. AAS increases protein synthesis. It does not efect digestion and absortion at all. Silver and gold, silver and gold.... |

lol I take it you were refering to my post. Just as you were making your post I changed it to Utilizing protein. Just used the wrong word that is all. Also when deciding how much protein you should use you might want to look at if the person giving the advice is on AS or not and what THEIR goals are. They might not be the same as yours. | |

| Greatest Prospector in the Land Board Administrator | The answer to the overall question is pretty easy. There is no set rate. There are too many factors to consdier like type of protein, macronutrient breakdown of a single meal, calroic intake, exercise amount, etc..... There simply is not an exact figure at all. Silver and gold, silver and gold.... |
