Is it right that the body can only digest 30g of protein in each meal?

Also what about kidney damage related to protein intake? My take on it is that you have to be eating insanely large amounts of protein, 85% of calories has to come from protein, and a predisposition to kidney problems will help it along.

I would think that from a scientific standpoint you would say that 1.2 is overkill... Practical application may be different but that could be because of all the variables such as added calories and nutrients etc.. I have yet to read anything about protein Reabsorption(is that what you called it?)

Yeah your right, I meant to say per kilogram body weight. As of 2008, the NSCA recommends that a resistance training athletes consume between 1.5-2.0 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. The broad range is because of the lack of general consensus in the literature about what exactly is the right amount.

I have never read any conclusive studies that have shown a link between high protein intake and kidney disease. Certainly those that have kidney problems may not want to eat 5 pounds of meat a day.
