  • Protein Utilization

    Good Afternoon BBM,

    I know this topic has been brought up time and time again. I read a post from Mike Israetel sating that although all protein is digested and absorbed only a certain amount (30-50 grams depending on body weight) can be used to build/maintain muscle in a given setting. He also states that the excess amount will be utilized as energy. If this is the case and you are a person who eats two large meals a day (75-85 grams of protein) per meal are you wasting protein for energy vs building/maintaining muscle. I wouldn't re-post just anyone's claim but I have been following Mike and feel like he has really good information. Looking for the team's thoughts on the matter.

    Thank You

    Luke

      What about taking in account the rate of digestion? If my 50g+ protein meal takes hours to digest does that allow most of the protein to go to use?

        Yes, all of the protein will be used.
