protien synthesis?????

[omerta]

wasnt sure where to put this question i was talking with someone about diet and remembered reading or hearing somewhere that your body can only process so much protien at one time so for instance if you were to eat like a chicken breast and two protien shakes half of that or more would just be waste anyone know if there is any truth to this ????

theres truth to it, but theres no cut and dry number to how much any person can utilize.

a 50 year old untrained granny and a 25 year old guy running 500mg test will have different protein utilizing abilities.

genetics is a major determinant for protein sythesis, but training improves it as well. Drugs improve it even more.

1-1.5g/lb for natural BBing purposes
