I've heard from 24 grams of protein and now, up to 50 grams of protein for maximum consumption. What I believe they are talking about is maximizing protein synthesis. For the most part, the ideal number or number that most people refer to is, 30 grams of protein. Can you consume more than that? Sure you can, your body can digest more than 30 grams of protein in one sitting. Excess protein, of course will be used as energy.
There's just so much scientific studies on this topic and you can google it, and it will be countless pages of this stuff. I'm not a doctor or scientist to know all the terms. All I know is what works for me.
Hope all is well, Dan. We certainly miss you around brother.
