I wanted to let you know - I have been actively researching this question.
The answer I come up with is that this whole 25-30 g protein per serving is a myth. There is no data I can find to support this claim. In the research, I find nothing. To the contrary, I find info supporting my original idea - protein metabolism is a dynamic process and is not limited by volume as suggested. Protein synthesis in your body IS limited by the quality of protein you consume.
The additional idea that only body builders need more protein - well don't you think a protein starved RNY patient has needs at least equal, if not in excess of that bodybuilder?
Protein & the kidneys - the protein load only affects the kidneys if you have kidney disease. For regular folks, get your fluids and you will be fine!
If someone disagrees - please take me to school! But don't come back at me unless you have reliable, peer-reviewed data! Heresay and 'someone said' doesn't cut it!
My advice - get your protein in and ignore the people who think they know how much protein you can absorb! You are fine!
