Is there a maximum amount of protein?



Recommended Posts

I have been doing 3 scoops of a 15/per scoop Protein Powder , the morning, then about 32 more at lunch (I am still on liquids) and then need only get 10 or so to be nicely over goal.

The GNC Wheybolic Extreme 60 sounds enticing with 6 in 3 scoops but I think I remember reading that there is only so much Protein you absorb in one consumption. Does anyone know?

This is particularly pertinent for me as I am starting mushies Monday and would love to have one shake and try to get my protein from the mushies after that,

This is one of those...We really don't have a good idea one way or another. Scientific questions wink.gif I think the consensus is "It will vary based upon your weight, your fitness routine, the amount of Water you drink, etc etc etc"

The reading I have done seems to indicate that 25-30g is the limit us mere mortals can make use of at one time.

Bodybuilders and other high use types can make use of more.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
