It is reccommended that you consume 2 - 2 1/2 X's your weight in grams of protein per day. Usually through eating at leasat 5 - 6 meals plus protein shakes. My question is this though. I though the body could only synthesize 35 grams of protein at 1 time/ sitting/ serving. If this is the case, then where are the other 18 grams of protein going that I am consuming? I am drinking protein shakes with 53 grams per serving.
