How many grams of whey do you guys use and how many times per day?
I just read that, after a workout, using ~40g doesn't have any benefit over using ~20g. Have I been wasting muh whey?

I meant grams of protein, not the grams of whey powder
>>35617306
>use
Ugh
>>35617306
16 scoops every 3 minutes
atleast 100g

thats a meme op
Your body doesnt just throw away any excess protein, it still synthesises it (provided all the other variables are in check), it just stores it til its done processing what it's doing now
Use it post and pre. Eating dem proteens is important post workout, but after 20g the benifits are negligible if even there. However, if you use whey to reach your protein intake for the day, then really you can eat it whenever. 3 scoops post workout wouldn't do any damage and would give you the benefit of eating lots of protein, but there would be no amplified benefit of eating it directly after workout.
TLDR eat it whenever the fuck you want and no you're not wasting it

>synthesizes
the body catabolizes proteins into amino acids before protein synthesis
>stores it
Where does the body store excess protein? I understand that sugar is stored as glycogen, and fats are stored as triglycerides, but what exactly is protein stored as/in?
3 preoteins per day

I take protein as a strength athlete does
Only get about 30 get from whey though. Whole food is best food

Can anyone explain this chart?

>whey
>not casein
enjoy taking in protein that absorbs so fast even a heavy steroid user can't completely utilize it.

>your body stores excess protein
outside of protein synthesis no it fucking doesn't

No.
>>35617306
2 Scoops per day (24g each scoop), reccomended usage is 1 scoop though.
>>35618234
RDA - recommended daily allowance
EA - endurance athletes
SA - Strength athletes
1 scoop a day with all my supps if bulking
2 or 3 if cutting
No whey, you gotta eat real food and have snack cookies/special k goddammit

So I need 120 protons for the best results. Good, thanks

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah w-what? get a grip on reality

it basically says that even for athletes training for strength, there is no increased protein synthesis beyond what you get by eating approx 1 g/kg bodyweight. It is even less for endurance athletes, and less again for non-athletes.
The important thing is that this is roughly half of what protein companies tell you to eat, which is about 1 g/lb. Some people will claim that it's 1 g/lb lean body mass, but unless you are the fattest of the fat, that weight difference will still be smaller than the difference in your weight when using different units.
If I recall correctly, this graph is from a paper that studied "elite" athletes as well. I don't know what "elite" was in that study, but I promise it only applies to about 5 people on this board: you can get just fine results by eating less.
tl;dr - don't fall prey to the 1 g protein/lb body weight scam. 1 g protein/kg body weight is likely more than enough.

You're still digesting it either way you fucking idiot. Take as much as your macros necessitate.

Youre the same faggot from the gay price of milk vs price of whey thread last night arent you.
