How does everyone get enough protein during the day? I find it hard to eat enough protein while getting in some carbs (otherwise I have no energy) I don't eat meat but do eat seafood

Thanks I like the coffee idea :-)

Your body can only absorb so much protein at one sitting do drinking a large amount at once doesn't help you out that much. Much to my dismay, I've been doing a little research on the subject. It takes protein in liquid form, like a shake, an hour and a half to pass through your digestive tract. And your body will absorb about 15g an hour. Everything not absorbed is excreted. Hope that helps!

How long does it take a solid form of Protein (like meat) to pass though and therefore how much can you absorb?

Thanks

Careful not to drink too much of your proteins. The band requires solid foods to stay satisfied.

I'm not sure Tara. I think the study was just done on liquid Protein. In a study of 19-35 yr old men with a bmi of 20-22 they absorbed 15g of protein in one sitting. Everyone is different but that's something to compare it to.

Thanks. I guess I'll try to do some research to find out.

Cool let me know what you find out!
