I will refer back to my orginal statement. You can read articles and books that give fancy calculations for how many grams will be absorbed by each person. But, lets try an experiment. Do the calculation, then find out how much your body absorbed, then find out how much your buddy absorbed, then do the test after a workout, then do the test after a meal, then do it first thing in the morning, then do it after starvation, then do it after being full. I think you get my point. Your body will take in what it needs, depending on your genetics, depending on your intake of other foods, depending on your current training, ect........ I could go on with 1000's of variables. Just use a little common sense and remember - the worst thing that could happen if you take in too much protein is that you shit it out. In other words if you are trying to bulk, load up and don't worry about it unless you start putting on fat - then you can cut back a bit. THIS IS MEANT FOR THE TYPICAL PERSON AND NOT FOR A PERSON WITH KIDNEY OR LIVER PROBLEMS. Nautica
