Add in some ice cream, milk and maybe some yoghurt, and you?ll have 50 g of protein. That amount is all your body can assimilate at one time anyway.?

I hear the same thing...your body can only take in about 50g of protein at one time. Anyone have any studies to support or prove that this is wrong?

Your body will use whatever protein it needs to for repairs and then it will either convert the amino acids to glucose for storage or for energy use. It will use all the protein you take in. The body will just start to use it differently if the protein needs have been met.

Anyhow you can't really say that 50g is the max across the board. Protein absorption depends on a lot of things such as rate of gastric emptying (effected by fat and fiber amounts in the intestine), bodily need for amino acids, body size, and the body's natural rate of absorption dictated by genetics. It's just a bodybuilding myth - you don't ever pee something with caloric value out unless you have something extremely wrong (diabetes mellitus). However, there IS research that says consistently taking in protein doses higher than something like 50g can promote kidney stones.

is this for one sitting, or throughout the day? Would doing 25g 4 times per day be a safe bet?

This is for one sitting. Depending on your level of activity, how much fluid you drink, and how often you weight lift, you can intake upwards of 2 gram of protein per body weight pound. Personally, I just focus on 1 gram of protein per body weight pound, which is 175g for me.

Look at you guys, so cute; spouting off everything you've read in your body building magazines. Replenishing your glycogen stores with carbs is the LAST thing you want to be doing after a workout.

Oh yes, great one. Tell me that the 20+ meticulous research articles I've read on utilizing simple carbs with a protein supplement increases absorption and glycogen regeneration many fold are wrong. Are you studying this in school or anything? Are you a professional? Please talk to the doctors and professors I deal with and tell them they don't know what they're talking about... because they're not confirming these findings in labs or anything.. :roll:

This is amounts of 50g or greater in general. You can have 50g and be just fine. I take in about 200g of protein, I'd estimate. I ingest it via about 5 meals so that's 40g per meal, which is a-okay.

lulz :laugh:

I don't even know how to respond to such a post, but thank you for making my day. I would love to hear your reasoning though, for purely entertainment purposes of course.
