how much whey?

[crasher]

Hi guys! I have a question for u: how much whey should I take? I am 150 lbs and bulking. I take 3 times of on Synthepure whey protein everyday. I take 48 grams at a time. So that's around 150g/day. Is ok?

I read on internet that taking more than 30 grams at a time is not quite good because your body will not be able to absorb that much but that sounds like a resonable amount. I usually take mine in the morning, during workout. I also sometimes have some with a meal if it is low in protein.

That's bullshit. There is no basis behind that. Does a 165lb man absorb only 30g of protein and the same for a 265lb man?
What about various absorbtion rates in the stomach which are genetic?
What about the age of the person, sex, etc?

The food is digested slowly , so your blood will carry the nutrients as long as they come, and they are not coming in one hit. The food is slowly digested and slowly will be absorbed the protein too. So I see no point that suddently the protein absorbtion will cease, when it is still a huge demand to repare and build the muscle.

The human body can digest something like 76grams of protein every 2-3 hrs. I think thats it....i'll double check and get back to ya.

But as a rule of thumb if ur bulking then u wanna take 2grms of protein for every 1lb on ur body. take care
