Hey All -

So I heard something very interesting......someone told me that we can only absorb a specific amount of protein at a time.....does anyone know what the amount it?  Also does anyone know how long you have to wait between servings of protein??    I just want to make sure that I am getting enough protein in and that I am doing it right so my body can absorb it and be happy :-) 

Any direction would be so helpful!

That's a popular myth, but the ASMBS says it is just a myth.  There is not a limit to how much protein you can absorb at a time.
