Maximum grams of protein to eat/drink in one setting?

[Demystify]

Is there a maximum amount of protein that I should avoid going past in one setting? I've been putting 70-100 grams of protein into my protein shakes and my friend says that's way too much. What do you guys say?

What Espi said.

they should probably be mmore spread out tho, if you are taking 300g of protein for example that would best be split equally between 6 meals

They say your body can only absorb 30-35 grams of protein per sitting, otherwise you sh*t it out.

So a 90lb ballerina can only consume 30g of protein in one sitting, same as a 220lb body builder? I think it is a bit more complicated than that.

Those are the basic guidelines brotha. From what I read the rest either turns to fat or you **** it out(Depending on the individual).

Further studies have actually shown that this is bull****. if that were the case then you would have to eat like 9 meals a day to get your allocated protein allowance..

what defines 1 sitting?

1 sitting as in 1 meal, and I'm eating every 2 and 1/2 to 3 hours

Why?

If you can manage to pack in 300g of protein in one sitting I commend you for having a ridiculously huge stomach! I've always wondered about this too but I think it's biologically impossible to eat that much at one time without vomiting immediately. Spreading it out over the course of the day would be way easier for the body to handle. Scientifically, who knows...
