Protein Synthesis

[untamedgorilla]

The average person's body can assimulate 35g's of protein at one time. I know AAS increases this ammount by how much. Just curious because my protein shake takes 4 scoops and gives 56 g's of protein. i like to take it all at one time with 12 ounces of milk this is a total of about 65 g's of protein. On compounds like Test and Deca would any protein b wasted? thanx (the protein in N-Large 2)

This is a great question and one that will get a wide range of answers. Is there anyone out there with some formal academic training on the topic?

Yes very interesting...??

IMO this number is not consistant from person to person. I believe it has to do with the weight of the person. This is so b/c the protein requirement for each individual is 1 to 1.5 grams per pound of body weight. This would mean that a 250 pound person would have to eat 8 meals a day to get the required protein. For instance your absorbation rate after a work out is going to be higher than usual.

Form what i've read during my research here at EF yes it does increase drasticly. Can't remember the exact figure though. it was alot

While on you will be able to utitlize protein much more efficiently...However NOONE here can give you an exact figure on HOW more much it can be...

For me I shoot for ~40 grams per meal 6-8 times a day and I am about your size (almost exactly...)

thanx, i read avg person can do 35 at a time. so i think u urself could do well over 40. like 50+

i think it increases but i think the amounts are marginal for everyone but 6 or 7 more grams is great 4 x a day thats 28 g more protien so i take in about 175g a day but i can not force another shake down or meal all i do is eat so that not bad but 240g a day would be great not no reasonable for me 6' 182lbs
