Thanks for your post. . . yes, you're right, I could not find anything in my search for a scientific study of maximum protein uptake. In fact, some people have actually reported seeing improved results from as much as 2g per pound of lean body mass. I was taking the information based on what I was told by a personal trainer, but apparently he was just drawing that from some inaccurate information. I was able find references to excess protein being converted into body fats, and also releasing uric acid in their breakdown, which can lead to kidney problems if excessive. I guess it's just one of those things that people need to figure out for themselves, but thank you for correcting that misinformation I was given.
