How much can your body process at a time and in what time frame?
Does to matter if you eat before or after your workout?
Are some forms of protein better than others? Why?

>How much can your body process at a time and in what time frame?
A lot, how much of it is used to build muscle is entirely different issue.
>Does to matter if you eat before or after your workout?
A little but not much.
>Are some forms of protein better than others? Why?
Liquids simply because they pass through the stomach faster and have the most surface area for absorbtion.
You can google the specifics but I can promise you, you won't actually get to the bottom of it.
If you eat protein your muscles are like a tractor on rocket fuel; those fields don't stand a chance. No wonder field monkeys stopped getting used.
>How much can your body process at a time and in what time frame?
People say 30ish grams, but it doesn't really matter, your ancestors didn't need to eat 5 30g protein meals exactly 3.2h apart and neither do you.
>Does to matter if you eat before or after your workout?
As long as your not working out fasted then not really. But I like to have a snack before I workout, I feel its motivating.
>Are some forms of protein better than others? Why?
Yeah technically, typically animal proteins are considered better than plant. But again, getting enough protein & enough calories is far more important.
There are good answers you can find to all of these questions. But unless your a top level elite bodybuilder, or a massive nerd with too much free time. It doesn't really matter
So drinking my 2 scoop 50g shake with my meat is a waste?
Do you seriously think your body will take a key nutrient like protein and throw it away?
We have ways to hold it in our guts for a while, but some of it gets oxidized because that's what happens over time. You won't lose much, but if you're on a budget that's annoying. That's all.
And if it's too much, it might overwhelm your storage capacity, so try to eat it in at least in 2-3 mealls per day, but it's not like there's an hard limit at 30g/4h.
Ok thanks. I'll try have the shakes between meals when possible then
Digits
Our ancestors were 5 foot tal on average and weighed just over 100 pounds.
Don’t worry so much about what your ancestors did.
I answered this yesterday on QTDDTOT
>meal frequency
Maximizing muscle protein synthesis is going to involve eating protein every 3-4 hours.
>total protein
Protein needs change according to your lean body mass and dietary status. If you're cutting you'll need more protein and if you're bulking you'll need less. 0.8-1.2g/pound of lean body mass per day is what you're aiming for as your goal. You can eat more if you want but this is the number needed to reach peak muscle protein synthesis. 0.8g/pound is if you're dirtybulking and 1.2g/pound is if you're cutting into single digit bodyfat. You need more protein during a cut because your body is trying to justify keeping all that extra muscle mass while you don't have enough food to maintain your weight. Muscle is the only way the body has to store protein unfortunately so giving it more protein will allow you to hold on to your muscle.
>protein per meal
MPS starts at around 15% of your lean body mass in grams in protein for a meal. It's fully maximized at around 28%. So if you were a 200 pound man at 20% bodyfat, meaning 160 pounds of lean body mass, that would mean that you would want at least 22g of protein per meal and ideally 45g of protein at least a few times per day.
>leucine
MPS is also dependent on the essential amino acid leucine. It's easy to get by eating meat, eggs, dairy, a lot of high protein sources of food. Certain foods like wheat are low in leucine so you can't rely on wheat protein to have the same effect as other sources when eaten by itself.
>How much can your body process at a time and in what time frame?
not a direct answer, just split your protein target into 4/5 meals
180g target? 45 grams over 4 meals
>Does to matter if you eat before or after your workout?
not really, this is just broscience now
>Are some forms of protein better than others? Why?
see: PDCAAS
30 g per meal. Thats why one scoop is 30 g
It makes you grow
Who
protien turnes into doodoo once turn after you eat it it
Eat your protons
"redpill me" kys fatass it's surface level knowledge that only takes a youtube video to figure out
>Are some forms of protein better than others? Why?
Yes. Protein DIAAS score. Most of the protein in animal protein will be digested and used by the body, much lower in vegetable protein.
This is why when vegans say hurrr my broccoli burger has 50g protein in like your steak!!
And you are using 25g of that, so they need double. Double the calories, and double the gut issues from all that green shit.
Happy reading
