Write 1000 words and add html headings article based on this youtube script how much truth is there that your body can only absorb 20 grams of protein per meal because this is something that’s been floating around for a very long time so this myth has a kernel of truth behind it but the idea that the body can literally only absorb 20 grams of protein in a meal is outright ludicrous the body can easily digest and absorb basically infinite amounts of protein in a meal there is no practical limit you’d have to be doing like massive food challenge hot dog eating contest stuff even then it’s probably not really a limit so the problem is that after the digestion and absorption of the protein comes the metabolism stage and there is a limit to how much muscle protein synthesis the body can stimulate with a single meal that’s called the muscle full effect now it seems that if you inest something like whey protein which is very rapidly absorbed a very high quality protein in resting conditions when you are fed 20 grams of protein seems to pretty much maximize muscle protein synthesis over the span of a few hours however when we start looking at mixed meals when we start looking at post-workout conditions protein sources that are not super high quality not whey protein things that are matched with fiber you know meat for example which is much more slowly absorbed then we see that the absorption limit changes or that the maximum productive amount of protein that we consume in a meal goes more up to 80 grams at least 40 grams and in a recent study seemingly even 100 grams at least if that’s pretty much your only meal for the day so it seems that the body is quite flexible in how it handles protein if you fasted beforehand if you had a workout beforehand the body can use more protein because it wants to build more muscle so in that sense the body has adapted evolutionarily speaking well to using the protein when there is indeed a demand for muscle protein symphysis like you can’t just eat your way to the Olympia you have to actually stimulate muscle grow in English
