How much protein you eat at a meal?

[MRJ]

40g (+/-) p/meal x 6 meals . . . around 250g daily.

if your on a low carb diet i would watch taking in that much proteine at one meal. If you eat to much proteine you body will start producing glucagon which will turn all that nice protein into glucose

35-40g 6-7x/day, 50g post workout

Reasons for going over 40?

I have heard and read (tho I don't remember where) that the human body can only process and assimilate about 30 grams of protein at a time. I have just taken that as gospel and tried to keep protein below 40 g per meal. I'm sure that depends on body mass but.

Comments?

How Much Is Too Much?

I usually get at least 400g protein a day without a problem. It just sounds like this is a lot more then a lot of people. I'm just over 170lbs. 400g isn't too much is it. I used to have a problem with school and lunch too but now I take a chicken breast sandwich with me with a nitro tech 40g protein Drink and even have one of those star kist no drain package tuna's on the go with all the stuff included, crackers and mayo and stuff. That's nearly 100g Protein in a 20 min. period. I was just wondering if all that Protein is unneccesary. Thanks for reading.

30-50g a meal

40- 50 grams/meal, 7 meals a day.
Daily total at least 300 grams.

When I keep my protein high I'm stronger; I reduce carb intake somewhat
to balance overall caloric intake.

I find a macronutrient ration of 35-45-20 works best for me, for maintaining
and bulking. When I'm cutting I keep protein and fats the same but reduce carbs.

over 40 gr of protein is useless!(per meal)

 

[Rémy!]

Cutting @ 20-30g

Bulking @ 50g w/ carbs (Aiming for 10-20g of casein content)

50-70.
