Does anybody have any kind of idea how much is too much protein at a single serving. I myself try to get all the protein I can in 6 meals while keeping the carbs down, (I'm trying to cut), but I have been told that too much protein will store as fat, and to try and not go above 30 or so grams in a single serving. Doing the math that's only 180. So, I am assuming you can have more. Somebody let me in.

im no nutrionist but i read in arnold's bio from the 70s and he said the body can absorb 40-60gms based on the individual. i try to get 50-60 because then i know that i am getting the max amount that my body can handle. I am pretty sure that 30 is not near the max you can use. So just shoot for 50-60 when your eating one of your meals that you consider high in protein and get 20-30 in your others. That is just my suggestion and im sure that you will get plenty of other replys today. As far as storing as fat......im not sure but i dont think it will store as fat.

Sweet ass thanks alot man for the advice. Arnold would know his stuff so I'm gonna go ahead and believe it. Thanks again.

Well, generally, you would try to get 1 to 1.5 grams of protein for every pound of bodyweight per DAY. So if you eat about 6 small meals a day, divide that number by 6. That's a simple way to do it.
