What's the most amount of protein you can eat/drink at one time? Is it different based on weight/height, or the same across the board? According to all sources my daily goal is 1.3-1.5 of body weight, which can be as much as 300+ grams of protein. Not counting food, every shake has two scoops which is 50g. What's stopping me from upping it to 3 scoops for 75g a shake, so that 3 + food gets me what I need?

stop getting meme'd, you don't need anywhere near that amount of protein
0.8/lb is perfetly adequate
trust, your kidneys will thank me in 20 years

Problem is I know your body can absorb only so much of any nutrient at a time. What's the science on protein?

But the sticky!

How fat can you fucking be? Also, the 1.5g/kg is aimed to people at a normal weight or with moderate amounts of fat, not fat fucks

Digestion takes hours and your intestine is specifically designed to slow down when dealing with high quantities of protein to maximize absorption

Isn't it 1.5/lb

I'm 6'4" 210 lbs.
Regardless if you ate all your protein for 1 day in one sitting or 20 times, its still the same. They will still get digested and absorbed anyway.
The timing that really only matters is you take protein after your workout. Really thats it

According to a whey salesman maybe
>>41298812
That doesn't matter either as long as you have some in your system already. 30 min window is bullshit
>>41298817
it actually is tho

Its actually not though. Read up on some actual medical journals from recent years and not BROLIFTPOWER.FB.COM and you'll see that the actual amount is more like the .8/lb anon stated above. The only people who need more than that are genetic freaks the size of silverbacks playing professional sports juiced up to their eyeballs
0.75 grams per lbs is fine
Digestion takes upwards of 18+ hours and they'll have you believe you stop digesting protein after the first 2-3 hours

never going to make it
