protein help

Can some tell me how much protein your body can absorb at one time. If I make a shake and drink it say in 10 minutes...how long do I wait until I have another. I found a drink that gives me 30 gr in about 8 oz. and I wondered how often I can drink that to get my protein in...thanks

Hi Jodie My Dr. told me that anything more than 30 grams is a waste because the body only holds 30 grams at one time. She told me to have 30 grams in the morning and then as my afternoon snack. Hope this helps. Marianne

Wow thanks for that information. I was drinking a shake that had 50gms in the mornings and for some reason It makes me sick now, I can't keep it down. I have another one that I take in the evenings that doesn't bother me, so after hearing what you said, it makes more sense to break up the gms throughout the day. The other shake has 23 gms. Well thanks for the tips! Armena 9/7/04-251/175lbs-size12/14
