  Key Points: <br> <br>-There is a long-standing belief that the body can only utilize 30 grams of protein per meal, but this idea is not scientifically supported.<br> <br>-Studies showing a limit on post-workout protein synthesis often use isolated whey protein, low training volumes, and only measure muscle protein synthesis, not breakdown. This does not reflect real-world eating habits.<br> <br>-New comprehensive study shows sustained increases in protein synthesis for 12 hours after ingesting 100 grams of protein versus 25 grams. This disproves the idea of a maximum per meal protein intake.<br> <br>-Protein is needed to support growth and adaptation in tissues beyond just skeletal muscle, like connective tissue. Basing protein recommendations only on muscle protein synthesis is flawed.<br> <br>-The speaker believes he has been right all along about there being no limit and that protein just takes longer to digest in larger amounts. He is critical of researchers who previously disagreed with him.<br> <br>Conclusions: <br> <br>-There appears to be no maximum protein intake per meal - higher amounts just take longer to digest and absorb. <br>-Current protein recommendations may be underestimating needs since they only consider muscle protein synthesis. <br>-More research is still needed on exact protein requirements.

  You earned a like at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMUGHg5PyKc&amp;t=386">6:26</a> when you called L. Norton what he really is. Excited to hear what you have to say, This is my first time watching one of your videos. I have not read this paper or was even aware of it. Thanks

  I really began to question the idea of maximum per meal protein absorption after seeing people successful with intermittent fasting. If it was true people you&apos;d expect them to lose all their gains. I&apos;ve also met large muscular manual labours who only eat 2 meals a day, don&apos;t snack, don&apos;t have protein shakes and still have a decent amount of muscle mass, no way they&apos;re only getting 80 effective grams of protein a day. Anecdotal sure but if &quot;science&quot; appears to contradict what you see repeatedly in the real world it&apos;s reason to think there could be methodological flaws.
