How Much Protein Can You Digest Per Meal? (ABSORPTION MYTH)

Step by step meal plan to maximize protein absorption and growth!

One of the longest standing protein myths you'll hear in gyms across the world every day is, your body can only digest 30 grams of protein in a single meal. People that say this will tell you that eating anything more than 30 grams will cause your body to either waste it, or worse, the excess protein will damage your kidneys. Not true.

In this video, I cover the biggest myth about protein and tell you how much more protein you can absorb at a single sitting. Too many bodybuilders limit their intake of protein for fear of something bad happening to them by going over the dreaded 30 gram limit. Hopefully, this will help to put nutrition science back in control and get you thinking differently if you were one of them.

Protein is needed to build muscle. It's role in protein synthesis and the creation of new muscle is not argued. That said, the correct amount of protein needed to build muscle is debated. What is the daily grams of protein needed? How much protein is needed to be anabolic? Does protein absorption change the type of proteins that you should be ingesting?

These are all common questions, most often sparked by the confusion surrounding the way that our bodies handle the amount of protein that they are delivered through our diets.

The biggest differentiation that must be made is the difference between absorption and utilization. Almost every single gram of protein you take in will be absorbed by the body. Whether you utilize that to build new muscle is a much different story. I discuss the differences between the two and what you should be focusing on most.

The origin of the protein absorption myth is also covered. Based on flawed studies on protein absorbtion rates, science only served to confuse the issues...until recently. See how eating protein in one sitting can be just as effective as spreading it out over the entire day in multiple meals for building muscle. That said, don't underestimate the negative impact that this could have on other aspects of your biochemistry. Watch to understand more.

It's insane.. No matter what question I'm asking myself about training or nutrition, when looking for it there is a 90% chance Jeff has a video on it.
For years he's been my favorite and best source of information.

He'll probably not read this, but thanks Jeff, you are awesome, have always been awesome and I hope you'll stay on top of the Youtube fitness community for many many years more

Jeff should just give up on this whole fitness thing and become an artist.

Can’t believe I watched this when I was like 20. I’m 27 now. You helped me when I was a young idiot, and you’re helping me now that I’m a wiser adult. Glad to see you hit 12 million subs Jeff. You’re by far the best trainer that makes videos

"You are what you eat "is all too often used quote.

After watching this video I now understand that more accurately, we are what we ingest, absorb and digest...

Thanks for a great video Jeff!
