I heard that the body will only absorb 20-30g of protein per meal. Anything in excess will be shitted out or converted to glucose. Thoughts \fit\?
It will absorb all of it.
Gluconeogenesis doesn't happen due to excess protein.
Stop this broscience op

Not
I just dont want to eat X amount of protein and not have it all absorbed
>>36482926
if you eat to much protein your body will think it needs to convert protein into energy. then, your body will begin to digest is own muscles, including your own heart.

Excess protein is deaminated (nitrogen group removed) and excreted in urea or stored as glucose via the liver. AthleanX has a good video about how much protein you can absorb, etc. in one sitting and the studies that led to misunderstanding in gym culture.

Actually your body doesn't start with your heart. It starts by eating your digesting your mouth until your lower face is just skin. Then you can't eat any protein at all ever again
Excess protein only fucks you up if you already have kidney problems.
Also I feel like my body will give me signs that I'm consuming too much protein. You shouldn't be eating more than 1g per pound of LBM
While there's probably a limit to what your body can absorb in one meal, I'd have to think it's substantially higher than 30 grams. Gaining weight would be extremely difficult otherwise. You'd have to eat like six full meals a day just to begin to gain weight.

>muh proteins

That is a sad story.
You absorb all protein eaten in one sitting up to something like 3 grams per lb of body weight. Your intestines slow down absorption until you digest all of it. Why don't you research it like i did instead of asking an autism board?

half true. gluconeogenesis is caused by an excess of protein in the absence of carbs
If this were true, weight loss would be a fucking breeze
Do people in this thread understand amino acids and ATP?
Does not look like it.
>amino acids turning into glucose
Take some biochem and come back to /fit/...
>>36483962
its actually not true

This has been debunked. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3595342/

I don't think I iterated my point correctly. If you are eating a high protein meal and are not Carbohydrate deficient, your liver will not create glucose from alpha-keto acids. Only if you are lacking of glucose will this process of gluconeogenesis occur.
This is why it's pointless to stop eating carbs. Your body will automatically produce glucose in your body regardless if you eat them or not.
You always 'absorb' all the protein, however anything more than ~25g has the same affect on MPS
