Protein intake?

[habitualhealth]

A buddy of mine wanted to know how much protein can be/should be consumed in one sitting? More so, how much protein can the body break down at one time?

Thanks!

How about protein powder? Because of his schedule he sometimes makes a protein shake with 4-5 scoops (approx. 100 g). Is this effective? If consuming protein by way of beef, chicken, fish....how much protein can be consumed/broken down in one sitting?

no.....

even Whey protein has its limitations....



he should take his bodyweight divide by 5 or 6 and have the answer in grams of protein at each of the meals....
