60 Grams Of Protein In A Serving



Recommended Posts

My understanding is that your body is unable to absorb over 40 grams of Protein at a time so anything over that is wasted. I might be wrong but I remember reading about it and talking to my nutritionist about it and she agreed. I was interested in doing this with my Protein Drink but my nutritionist sd it wd be a waste and stick with the 35 g of protein I get with 1 scoop.

Here's a great article that explains how much protein can be absorbed in one sitting.

http://www.livestrong.com/article/487366-how-many-grams-of-protein-can-body-absorb-in-one-sitting/

Here's the crux of it pertaining to Protein shakes.

"One of the factors that can affect protein digestion is what you are eating because it takes longer for the body to digest a whole protein source, such as chicken, than it does to digest a liquid Protein source, such as a whey Protein shake. For example, it takes a whey Protein Shake about one hour and 30 minutes for the body to digest. The rate of whey protein digestion is about 10 g per hour, meaning your body will absorb about 15 grams of whey protein during the time it is digested. A larger meal with protein will take longer for the body to digest, meaning your body may absorb more protein during that time. How much protein is absorbed depends on your body and the type of food eaten, as Proteins found in Beans are less digestible than whey protein."

So basically, trying to drink 60 grams of protein in one shot is not going to be effective.

Still seems pretty good though even if you just did one scoop.

Make up a 60 gram batch and drink part of it 4 different times in the day. I've done it before.

Six star nutrition has 60 grams of Protein in two scoops. It is awesome. Two scoops and 1 cup of Water or milk. I love it. Its my Breakfast.

60 grams over 4 sittings is 15 G a sitting. Even in 2 sittings is 30 G each. Why so people misread so much? I dont know anything about this drink, i just did the math. Smh

There some I'll effects from consuming too much Protein, but that really isn't a concern for us.

In order for protein o affect you badly you would need to go well over triple the amounts that we talk about on this forum & it would have to be prodomanantly from meat sources.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
