How much protein can the body process at one time?

You are absolutely right.  Taking 60g of protein is a complete waste of time and money as half will be wasted.  And variables such as body mass and workout intensity will not dramatically change absorption rates of ANY protein.  They may influence how much protein your are to ingest daily, but these variables do not change assimilation rates within a very short period (such as drinking the shake in one sitting)  The kidneys simply cannot process 50 or 60 grams of protein at once.  20-30 grams is fair estimate for most people.  It takes a minimum of 2-3 hours for the body to process this.  So theoretically, you could have a half of a 60g shake after your workout, and have the rest 2 hours later.

The particulare foods dont matter very much...eat a good balanced diet.  \n\nDaily protein consumption should be 1.4-1.7 kilograms per gram of body weight, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.  Consuming more protein will not be beneficial and could be unhealthy.\n\nYou can get the protein from regular foods, supplements are not necessary unless you have problems getting the calories and protein that you need in your diet.

You are probably referring to metabolism.  Metabolism is a collection of chemical reactions that takes place in the body's cells to convert the fuel in the food we eat into the energy needed to power everything we do, from moving to thinking to growing. Specific proteins in the body control the chemical reactions of metabolism, and each chemical reaction is coordinated with other body functions. In fact, thousands of metabolic reactions happen at the same time - all regulated by the body - to keep our cells healthy and working.

Most proteins function at peak efficiency at a certain temperature.  By maintaining a body at a set temp, animals can optimize their biochemical pathways.

Listen carefully and ignor anyone who tells you diffrently. All the informaton needed for every protien in the body is stored as DNA. When a particular protien is needed, the streatch of DNA that codes for it is copied into RNA. THis piece of RNA is called a transcript. \n\nThe transcript is usually proccessed in the cell before being sent to the ribosom. There the ribosom reads the nucleic acids in groups of three. So no one nucleic acid makes a protien, but three nucleic acids determine one amino acid. A string of amino acids makes up a protien.

as the other people have stated seek your physicians approval first, in terms of protein intake i would focus more on the timing of the protein rather than the absolute daily amount. If your physician thinks this is okay , i would suggest around 6-10g of essential amino acids and L glutamine with 200ml of powerade before and also during your training session, with the increased blood flow possibly greater deliver if the EAA to the muscle and it could promote growth, i belive timing and not the amount is more important,

Proteins are necessary in order for numerous vital functions of your body to happen.  Simply stated, without protein synthesis, you would die.  Proteins are necessary for the execution and regulation of nearly everything that happens in your body.

Quick and easy.  The protein is usually pre-digested so when you take it in liquid form, the body can readily absorb it.  A lot easier on the stomach for equivalent protein compared to eating a piece of meat, especially around bedtime.

That is why you have to eat a diverse diet. Different foods have different proteins and our bodies get the proteins needed from the food we eat.

I would say protein. Water is a good answer to.

Whey is a good source of protein, protein is necessary for healthy muscles and is particularly benificial if you regularly work out.  It is estimated that most people need about 1-1.5 grammes of protein per pound of body weight each day, if you don't think that you are getting this from your normal diet then supplementing with whey protein shakes will be beneficial.

1g of protein = 4 calories\n1g of carbohydrates = 4 calories\n1 g of fat = 9 calories

It depends on your body needs. Each person is different.

None. Protein shakes are 100% unnatural and unhealthy. Why is it that you need to gain 5-10 pounds..and at 16? Your weight fluctuates about 5 pounds throughout the day, so I wouldn't try to load your body with chemicals and such to simply gain a couple pounds.

protein is protein..., as long as it is a complete protein (has all the amino acids)..., you should do fine..., don't believe all the hype out there..., been down that road and now making my best gains with eating right and an ordinary shake...

Low carb, high protein.

a lot. There are innumerable myoglobin molecules per myofibril, so I do not think that can be measured
