Enough bedtime protein?

[gbrice75]

I don't think protein needs are above 40% in a diet.

x2 on this... I see people with 500g protein in their diet and just don't get why they'd want to stress their liver and not make any difference to their build. Your body can only process so much protein at once, the rest is a waste.

It really depends on the individual. I know some people who just can't grow unless they eat tons of meat/fish despite having stupidly high carb intake.

I do agree though for most bodies, an emphasis on stupid high protein is sabotage. I definitely saw better gains when I reduced it and ate more carbs.

Is there a study on this somewhere?

I have heard that your body can only process as low as 40-45g protein at a time and I have heard as high as 70-75g protein at a time..
