So according to countless posts and threads I have learned that typically the maximum amount of protein the body can utilize/digest in a meal is around 50-60 grams. I was just wondering if there is also a limit for carbs?
Not that I'm going to consume a large amount of carbs in a single sitting, I'm just asking out of curiosity if anybody knows? Or if there is a limit? Thanks!

Carbs upon ingestion are slightly broken down by salivary amylase(enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates into smaller molecules(maltose, lactose, sucrose)
after that it is broken down in the stomach and then transfered to the small intestine where the majority of digestion occurs via pancreatic amylase
the glucose produced from these mechanism(and many others) is transferred through the intestinal walls via 2nd active carrier mediated transport with sodium and into the blood
so you could keep eating carbs and as long as you are secreting amylases you will just keep jumping up your blood glucose level
