>Why are you eating so much protein? Don't you know you can only absorb 10g of it a meal? You'll just piss the rest out!
This is true though, you can only absorb 30g at a time.

protein is a meme anyway

b-but reddit had a thread about it

For one, you can't "piss out protein" as it isn't filtered into the Bowman's capsule (due to the membranes between the blood and glomerulus), and therefore can't be pissed out.
If any is taken into the nephron, it will be reabsorbed unless you have a bad kidney.

So I can have 4 scoops and my body doesn't waste 3 of them?

Do you think you're body is just gonna give up nutrients?
Protein can be turned into carbs if it's not needed however.

If it's too difficult to process yeah I totally understand a body giving up nutrients.
>>36419532
Amino-acids are fundamentally different from sugars and do not have the same metabolism route. They are not magically turned into carbs.

This has been discussed already a lot of times with a bunch of academic papers and Ph.D articles and whatnot, truth is
- your body won't be able to process more than 20~30 (max) grams of proteins for muscle protein synthesis for each of your meals
- if you want to maximize MPS you'll have to get multiple meals
- the "exceeding" proteins won't be wasted - those will be used for other hormonal, metabolic and nutrition purposes. Still, those won't be used for muscle protein synthesis. You will never be able to use more than 20~30 grams of proteins for MPS from each of your meals, except in some really corner cases.

It's 30g per meal, not 10g.
>>36419636
You can fucking absorb more than 30g mate, it's just not all on a one way train to hypertrophy

That's objectively wrong.
