You may want to consider the following which is found in one of the articles here, six_things_you_need_to_know_about_protein.
Everyone wants to know what the optimal dose of protein is, said Lowery. How much can you digest at once? Well, most people will say about 30 grams. But that’s usually based on a plausibility argument based around how much protein you should eat in a day broken down over six meals. Now we may know the actual answer to that question based on a new study.
This year, Tarnopolsky’s lab did a study (2) to examine the effect of how different dosages of egg protein powder affected protein synthesis rates. Researchers had healthy men who had previous weight training experience perform intense resistance exercise and consume an egg protein drink that contained either 5, 10, 20, or 40 grams of protein.
Basically, Lowery explained that researchers found that increasing protein intake stimulated protein synthesis in a dose dependent manner up to 20 grams of protein, after which there was no further increase in protein synthesis. In other words, forty grams didn’t stimulate protein synthesis greater than 20 grams.
Researchers speculated that consuming 20 grams of protein five or six times daily would be the optimal measure to increase anabolism and muscle mass.
Now, says Lowery, You may still want to eat more than that for volume purposes since you’ve got to eat something, but the answer to the question is 20 grams… at least with egg protein. And I bet we see different proteins tested over the next year.

Yeah i read that article too, i consume about 20 grams of fast acting whey hydroslyate and about 20 grams of micellar casein so i have actually reevaluated my protein intake per feeding. but yeah thanks for the reference. Actually i have probaly read all of Lowery’s acticles and interviews, and Beradi’s, Bowden’s and Shugarts articles in the last 2 weeks trying to catch up on what i missed and to refresh my memory. Thanks again man.
