protein drinks

I have read on some of the other boards that you have to be careful how much protein you consume at a time.   Like some of the protein drinks have 20g and others up to 50g of protein.  Has anyone been told how much we can have?

According to the booklet given by Corinne.....you need 60 - 80 grams of protein a day!  If you need to, aim for the higher number. Hope this helps! Anne

I think it is 25 or 30 grams that your body can consume at one sitting.  So If it is over the 40 grams, I just split it in 1/2.   Like those New Whey liquid bullets are 42 grams.  So I might have 1/2 at one meal/snack and then the rest for another meal/snack.

this is odd to me and i'm trying to figure this out too. i saw corinne last thursday and explained how hard the protein shakes were setting in my stomach. she turned me on to a 60 gram shake you can get at gnc. it's very yummy but cost about $60 for a container. i stressed my concern about our bodies only absorbing 25-30 grams at a time. she said there was no documentation to say we couldn't absorb all 60 at one meal. so i have been drinking the 60 in the morning and getting other protein from my pureed foods. some days i have a half (30) in the afternoon if i feel i'm not getting much from food.

so i guess what we absorb is debateable. corinne has told me 2 different things.
