Does everyone get in each meal?
For me, I've been doing 75g for 6 meals. I may cut that down to 60 and just add another meal 


interesting...so your saying he'd get more benefit if he spaced out his protein intake a bit more? Like adding another protein meal to get the total for the daympresiv said:Around 40 grams per meal for me.
PT, I think that is way too much protein bro...lol. Your body can only absorb roughly 35-50 grams per meal depending on the individual. The rest will be discreeted through urine.

buffness said:Yo PT, I see your point, and I agree there really is no telling how much the body can use at a time....but, if your taking in 500g of protein a day, would it make a difference to eat 80g per meal for 6x a day, or lets say 60g over 8 meals a day? My guess would be that your body would react the same way to both and would probably be a hell of a lot easier to get in 60g rather then 80Thoughts???
yep. I find it hard to get in enough protein in each meal that still keeps the fat content down since I have some pro/carb meals. I'm tossing the idea around to bring it down to 60 a meal and just add another shake at night..Stout1 said:Thats what I see as a logical explanation.
Just as if you were to eat 4000 cals a day.
It would be better to eat 6 meals a day at about 700 cals a meal rather than 2 meals of 2000 cals. Same princiciple.
