How many cals and protiens can you absorb at one meal.. before the rest are not used and or turn to fat?

whoa bro

tjis question varies very much on the individual and how active you are, weight, age, genetics etc...

protein wise, if you're getting 1.5g of protein per lbs of lbm and split it 5-7 times u should be ok

ok Im 22, 5"10, 210lbs, I do a 4 day split (modified 5x5 type layout), mild cardio 2-3 x week 15x2 a day minute bike rides. I eat 6-7-8 times a day, I get my body weight in protien, I eat lots of breads meats.. ect

r u bulking?

 

[JollyRogers]

yes im having no problems bulking and gaining weight.. Im just trying to figure out how much protien and cals I could use per eating without letting the rest go to waste, like if I eat 1000 cals, would my body only use 500 per say and the rest go to waste? same as with protien, if I ate 80 g at one sitting, would my body only use 30 g per say?

again this is down very much to the individual person, i would say at your size 40-50gms would be absorbed maybe more, maybe less.

The best way to tell is experimentation my friend, see what works for you and your body, measure everything, lkeep logs and charts

one thing to remember is your body will absorb more nutrients post workout and after starvation (i.e. breakfast)

If you can, try to manage 40-50g of protein every 2-3 hours 6-7 times a day, make up the rest of the cals from clean carbs (about 3g per bodyweight for bulking) and the rest from good fats.

Have you read massive eating?

Is it typically 1.5 grams per lb of lean mass or does the poundage include fat as well? This is something I have been wondering for quite some time.

 

[Babyfaced Assassin]

I would say overall weight really but if you're cutting then stick to lbm
