Protein intake question

Can anyone tell me how much protein in one drink is to much? I'm almost sure my nut said anything over 45 grams of protein is a waste cuz your body can only absorb so much. Has anyone heard that as well??

Hi. My NUT said the same thing. My drinks range from 23-42 (I like to mix them up so I won't get bored)

I was told anything over 30 grams at a time was all the pro body

Sorry, my phone froze up. That should finish as: 30 grams was all the protein the body can absorb at a time.

My doctor told me to drink Isopure and dilute it, or mix it with something else. But the ungodly taste still comes through and I vomit a little when I drink it. Is there any other way to get the protein into my body during the first stage? Any kind of help would be appreciated

Hi, when it comes to getting my Protein in I used Syntrax nectar Protein and you can get it in different flavors....

Thank you for the advice. I have the nectar powder but I'm not allowed to use it until next week. I am going to have my hubby look for protein pills tomorrow. Good luck on your journey!

My understanding is 30g at a time with three hours in between. I have had the worst time finding a protein I can tolerate. I finally found lean 25 from GNC and proflex20 from melaluca both are great tasting.

I love the Pure Protein shakes but can't take till next week. My hubby found Ensure Clear Protein drinks at CVS ( a pharmacy around us). It's new and not that disgusting

I started mixing one oz of isopure with two ounces of the Ensure protein, then mix in 1 tbsp of unflavored protein powder. Gives me 8 grams or so of protein in 3 oz of liquid. Of course I'm only two days post surgery.
