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 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.

my nut said the same thing that it would be a waste

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

Pure protein bars 20 g. Of protein

They r good I buy them at Walmart

Does anyone know if there is a maxium limit to how much protein to have a day. I know I need a min of 60 g of protein. But can go over that with 2 protein shakes and milk.

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.
