Is there an upper limit to how much protein our body can use per meal?
In humans, 20–25 grams of protein maximally stimulates muscle protein synthesis. The thinking goes that any “excess” protein consumed will be oxidized and left unused by the body.
But a new study from podcast guest Luc Van Loon challenges that thinking.
Consuming 100 grams of protein in a single meal leads to a dose-dependent increase in circulating amino acids. It also increases plasma, muscle, and whole-body protein synthesis to a greater degree than 25 grams of protein.
This anabolic response was prominent 0–4 hours after consuming 100 grams of protein but increased even further in the 4–12 hour postprandial period.
Our body will use all of the protein we eat, even if it’s more than 20–25 grams — it just takes longer to digest and absorb.
