lol…sad, yet true!
funny how everyone seemed to disregard the article i posted( from 2004) . it provides some pretty useful and INTERESTING! information.

Consumer, the information in that article has been discussed on the site before. The “establishment” feels that people don’t need much protein, but bodybuilders generally don’t agree with that assessment.
What type of response were you expecting?

The article basically said that athletes may need more, but only slightly more, than a sedentary individual.
My response was that even though you don’t NEED more protein, the calories have to come from somewhere… It might as well be a source in which 30% of it gets burned off during digestion.

that one.
Lets say that theoretically that a person can digest 35 grams of protein an hour. say I eat 70 grams of protein in an hour. 35 grams are digested for my use and the other 35 just dont do anything for my body, and just basically “disapear”? Or do they keep trying to digest themselves after that hour and eventually contribute to my muscles later.

They pass through your system harmlessly and are excreted as flatulence. The gaseous protein molecules are later used to provide sustenance for breatharians.

haha hilarious but not factual. extra protein is deaminated(nitrogen excreted) and stored(usually as some fat).
Bah, you both ignore the gist of the question…
The question is, does 35g get digested the first hour and then another 35g get digested the next hour.
Basically, put it this way. If you put food in your stomach, your body will extract all the nutrients you’ve consumed and do something with them.
To get anecdotal, I do know through various drinking binges in my youth, that stomach contents can take a long time to be emptied. Proof is in the pizza puked up half an evening after eating it.
Ahahaha. It’s a long time ago, but while in school I puked pizza out my window. Since it was winter time if froze on the window ledge a floor below me. The guy below bitched at me endlessly because squirrels were nibbling at the vegetables frozen to his window sill all winter, driving him nuts.
So, I don’t know the rate of digestion, but I do expect that it can greatly exceed the rate of absorption by the muscles. This factor will of course depend on the types of food eaten.

the majority of the 70 grams will be broken down.
the amount that is broken down to single AA’s will be absorbed. The question is how much will be stored as fat or stored as new muscle tissue.
How much will be broken down into single AA’s? well.
Roger H. Finkemeier at the University of Kansas. He was the strength coach at KU in 1988 when the basketball team won the national championship. It takes more than a paper to convince me. I’ll take advice from someone whos had great success in the real world not just a lab.
Besides, the people they use in studies at universities are normal fucking pussies not hardcore lifters and athletes. If you are bigger and stronger and faster than me and eat less protein then I stand corrected. Otherwise shut up and train.
