Question:
how much protein is too much
would a 70 gram protein shake be 2 a waste? can your body use all that protien at one time? shake --> 2 cups 1% milk (22 grams of Protein)
+ 2 scoops whey protein (48 grams pro)

Yes i am pretty sure that's a little bit more that it can intake at a time.

you sure 2 cups of 1% milk is 22g? milk has 8g per cup.
ur bopdy can only take in so much protein at one time...60grams :D (im pretty sure its 60grams)
my milk container says 8ounces has 11 grams of protein
take 2 cups of milk and a half a scoop of whey and thats definitely enough.
Good lord, calculate your LBM, according to that you need 1.0-1.5 grams of protein, unless your on a bulk, if you are you need more probably 2.0g.
Edit- just reread that, yes thats too much. Stick to 50g, never does me any harm.
research shows that there is no benefit beyond .8g protein/lb of body weight. 2 grams per pound is definitely overkill.

One second, trying to find it right now.

wtf..70 grams?
lol
your body can only absorb about 48g per meal.
Couldn't find the exact research study I was looking for, but here's an alternate that suggests that there is no benefit beyond 2.62 grams protein/kg of body weight (or 1.19 grams/lb of lean body mass).
In this excerpt, Dr. Lemon recommends consuming 1.6-1.7 grams of protein/kg of body weight (or .77 grams of protein/lb of body weight)
A team of researchers from Kent State University, Ohio, and McMaster University, Ontario, led by Dr. Peter Lemon studied a group of 12 male subjects during two months of resistance training. They found that a protein intake of 81 grams per day (0.99g per kg of bodyweight for a 180 lb male) resulted in a negative nitrogen balance. Nitrogen balance is a measure of protein metabolism. A negative nitrogen balance indicates that the protein needs of the body are not being met and protein is being scavanged from tissue elsewhere in the body to maintain essential body functions. This may lead to reduced gains in muscle mass and strength.
Can you eat too much protein? This group also found that protein intakes above 2.62 grams per kg of bodyweight (214 grams for a 180lb male) provided no additional benefit in terms of nitrogen balance and increased the risk of renal overload and dehydration. Long term studies of large groups show that a high protein/low carbohydrate diet increases the risk of kidney stones and bone loss. These findings were substantiated by a University of Texas study of 10 volunteers on a high protein/low carbohydrte diet for two weeks. Blood uric acid levels (uric acid is a major cause of kidney stones) rose 90% and urinary levels of citrate (which inhibits kidney stone formation) dropped 25%. And finally, any extra protein Calories (beyond what you are expending per day) are stored as fat, not muscle.
Protein is essential for endurance athletes as well as to aid muscle development. As far back as 1983, scientists demonstrated that two hours of exercise can drain the body of essential protein stores. Based on their findings, Dr. Lemon makes the following recommendations for protein intake for strength and endurance athletes:
* Strength - 1.6-1.7 grams of dietary protein per kg of bodyweight
* Endurance - 1.2-1.4 grams of dietary protein per kg of bodyweight
The average 70 kg (154 pound) cyclist will need from 80 to 100 grams of protein per day. And for those at the elite level, the requirement may be as high as 1.7 grams of protein per kgm (120 grams for the ideal 70 kg rider). And as active athletes consume more daily Calories, a balanced diet without supplements will meet these increased needs.
A literature review failed to find any support for protein supplements (assuming a balnaced daily diet with the normal distribution of protein intake) compared to a pure carbohydrates diet alone. In fact there is the potential for a DECREASE in overall performance from the appetite suppressing effects of a high protein diet which results in a decrease in carbohydrate intake and diminished pre event muscle glycogen stores.
Seems as if there can actually be negative effects of overindulging in protein.
Lemon PW. "Beyond the zone: protein needs of active individuals." Yeah this is correct, 1.6-1.8 grams of protein/kg of body weight, or in pounds, around .8grams of protein/lb of body weight.
Some of these answers are very interesting.
First your question. Stay with what falls in your diet as far as you protein intake per meal. Personally I take close to 100gm of protein at bulking time. 600gms a day. And I assimilate all of it. If that meal calls for that much protein then do it.
I would recommend to mix you protein in water and help cut out some of the fat.
