10gm Per Hour?!

[Machine'd Head]

Whut?

I knew the body would only be able to process so much protein at a certain rate, but surely there are way to many variables for the 10gmp/h to be accurate.

I used to have my post workout drink, mixed with milk, at ~56gm protein in one go. Surely 46gm of this isn't wasted?!

I've tried to look this up myself, but there are too many conflicting stories...

[FellowshipOfTheRon]

i think the fact that people who do IF (a diet protocol where your whole days macros are taken in within a few short hours of the day) don't suddenly wither away (some even bulk on it) is more than enough to disregard this sort of stuff as nonsense

[flexraid]

yeah that is full retard. the protein doesn't just vanish, it will get processed sooner or later. 200g of protein in 6 hours, making all kiiiiiinds of gains.

Confused

So some research can be disregarded, ignored?

Why is this research rubbish...pls explain

[Chemo]

got a link to the research?

[Diab0lic]

Yes there is an absorption rate but if your intake exceeds it, the protein just sits there until it can be absorbed. This can take several hours depending on a bunch of factors.

[jimmybro1]

Ha interesting concept.

I would think the absorption would be influenced by many factors such as;

-Acidity of stomach acid

-Residence time in stomach

-Surface area of intestines

-Enzymes in digestive system

-Type of protein

-Media protein is in

etc

I can't see how you can come to that particular conclusion seems to be to many variables unless thousands of test were conducted along with some depth statistics.

Lyle McDonald did a series of articles on different protein foods and their absorption rates..... look it up..!!

Have read them before, what I find interesting is that 10gms per hour processing rate regardless of sex, LBM and a whole lot of other factors.

I understand that's 10gms pure protein (thus translates to meat taking a while and WPI less time) but the measure is once digested, our body can only process 10gms per hour...?

So everyone in the whole wide worlds daily limit is like 24hrs * 10gms = 240gms....damn no wonder I still look like a small girl! :pfft:

Or if you need to read referenced studies before you can get of bed in the morning then read this instead

I wondered whether each meal is digested separately whilst passing through the intestines throughout the day, or if every meal is dumped in the stomach and all processed together?

This would make a huge difference to the amount of protein our bodies could process each day..?

IE: Breakfast 10 eggs = 60g absorbed at 3.1g/hour for 19 hours

Mid morning meal Chicken 50g absorbed at 10g/hour for 5 hours

Lunch Fish 50g absorbed at 10g/hour for 5 hours

Mid afternoon Whey 60g absorbed at 10g/hour for 6 hours

As an hypothetical example these daily meals would be absorbing into the blood at different rates/hour added together would equal 3.1 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 33.1g/hour plus all the later meals compounded on top..?

So when all daily meals are added together up to supper time, that's a lot of protein being absorbed into the blood....

I have no idea if it works this way? Could anyone please confirm whether this is correct?

The above link supplied by Flex suggests food may be just all dumped together into the stomach, this would imply ingesting any more than 240g in any 24hr period would be a waste..?
