How much protein can we absorb?
The word from manufacturers’ sports nutritionists is that no one except
professional athletes and bodybuilders can absorb more than 30 grams of protein
at one time.
Won’t hurt you, except in the wallet.

Subject: absorption questions?
Can anyone tell me again how much protein can be absorbed at one
time? I am drinking protein drinks with appr. 50 grams of protein and
need to know if it is pointless to be drinking that much in one
sitting? Also I have a hard time drinking water all day long so I try
to drink most of my water in the morning to early afternoon. Does
anyone know whether or not it matters if it is spread throughout the
day or consumed in a shorter period of time? Thank you for any
insight.
