Protein Question????????

OK, I've heard it told that our bodies will only absorb 20 grams of protein in one sitting. Therefore, it is pointless to eat more then that at one time. Anyone heard this???????????? Something similar???????????? Something totally different??????????????? Huh?????? Speak up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laurie

I've heard that 30 is the most we can absorb at one sitting. By the way, you are looking fab-u-lous!!!! Heather Lynn 267/180/160ish

Yup I heard 30 as well, and sometimes I get protein happy, and realize its all in vain. I do beleive that the malabsortion factor is less as we get further out though.

I've heard that you don't absorb any more than 30g...When I eat my 4oz Bumble Bee tuna steaks some of them are like 36g of protein. But when I record the food in my journal I only log it as 30g because that's all I can absorb at one sitting.

My surgeon and nutritionist both said 30 grams at a serving. andrea

Laurie, My nutritionist says it is 30 grams as well. Lori
