saw this in a fitness magazine at gold's. can't believe someone put this out in a magazine with no fact checking.

Not only is it published in magazines, but it is discussed on the television quite often (Dr.Oz being one). When I was at Uni, it was a question that came up in our nutrition class, and our professor simply told us that there is no maximum consumption or absorption of protein in the human body.

In my point of view, sure if you were to ingest 10kg of protein in one sitting, your body will regulate what percentage of that goes towards protein synthesis. However if you were to ingest 10kg of protein, your body would digest it 1 gram at a time, not the entire 10kilos all at once.

And that's the reason why that ideology is flawed and makes my ears bleed whenever I hear it.
