    How much protein?

    how much protein can you take in at one time, i guess how much can you take at once without wasting? how many grams?

    Not true at all. Depends on many factors. And hormones are a big part of it. People using steroids , depending on which ones, can absorb alot more than people that are natural...

    It really depends on the person. There are way too many factors at play to make any sort of generalization...

    It will vary depending on the bodyweight of the individual. From the reading I have done it is in the range of 25-50 grams of protein. The larger the individual, the higher along the range. You have to experiment to see what works best for you.
