[AMG2210]

:omg:

That's three 3 scoops of the powder in 3 cups of milk

Essentially 25g of protein per scoop.

There's no way I can believe your body could absorb that much protein... I'm sure there is a maximum absorption and all the rest would just become expensive pee and poop.... HAHA I said pee and poop

[getfit]

interesting, i still think at your age, stick to what mommie cooks for you

30 bux for 7 servings sounds a bit pricey. It's got alot of stuff in it, though. I think I'd cut the servings in half and drink one in the AM, and one in the PM on the days that you need it instead of all at once.

Actually your body can absorb any amount of protein. The question is how much could be used for building muscle and how much will get used as energy or stored as fat.

Bingo.

And how much will putrefy and lead to gas with a nice smell.

Exactly. And lately almost every shake I take in is just below 100g.

3 scoops whey+1.25 cups oats+2 cups skim milk+1 tablespoon olive oil=90grams or so.

I would suggest using a cheaper source of protein.

I've been taking 7 craps a day, can you imagine how much gas I have. My girlfriend is a very understanding woman.

[Bohizzle]

LMAO sigged.

[Hazerboy]

so about how much protein in one sitting can be utilized for muscle building? Does it simply depend on the person, or are there other factors involved?

Isn't there a point where your body can not metabolise food anymore? Lets say I eat a can of processed meat every 1/2 hour all day for 16 hours. (Which I could do on a bet) That would be 9600 calories and 960 grams of protein. And your are saying my body would absorb ALL that protein? I find that hard to believe, I think I'd just be on the crapper all day. Or what if I had a protein shake every 15 minutes, that would be 1472 grams of protein through the day, and you're saying my body would absorb ALL of that and I wouldn't be pissing and crapping it all day?

I don't believe it, there must be a limit to what your body can absorb in a given time, which is what we are talking about

[Hockey66]

It's 10.3 lbs and there's only 7 servings.

Thats a **** load of powder to be taking down at once.

your liver would shut down from all the nitrogen and you would die, so I guess you can collect the money at your funeral.

[Unreal]

Yes your body will use all the protein. Its not just going to get passed through without being digested and either converted to fat for storage, or used for another process.

Absorb? Do you mean digest?

What you are crapping out is digested food.

Your body can digest 100g of protein in a single sitting, but not all of that protein will be used for muscle building purposes (like many have already mentioned above).

LMAO sigged.


Hell yeah, I think that's the first time i've been quoted. And it's true, in fact yesterday I went 8 times.

Actually there is a point at which some foods can pass through the digestive system without being fully digested, but usually that is based on digestive problems of the individual or the difficulty of the food to be digested in general. Things like flesh and protein powder dont really fall into that category and will typically just slow the system down in order for it to be utilized.

And of coarse you will still be crapping and peeing all day, the same stuff you normally get rid of. . WASTE products.

Your greatly underestimating the bodies abilites, especially if this is just a one day example. I get well over 700 grams of protein on certain days and all my organs are doing superb.

It would need to be an obscene amount...and if you can quantify that amount scientifically, you'll make a lot of money. All these people that say your body can't "absorb" more than 40g of protein per sitting (what the hell constitutes a sitting anyway?) have no scientific evidence that it is true. They don't even know how they came up with that random number.

[chris mason]

Each serving is roughly 668 grams! That is a HUGE serving. A 90 gram serving of Opticen provides 52g of protein. The product you are referencing is clearly inferior to Opticen in terms of its ability to aid your growth of quality muscle.
