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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
