You should switch it up with some duck breasts every now and then. Your taste buds will thank you.

maybe you weigh yours uncooked, but i weigh mine cooked. i also go by the nutrition on the package which is what it says.


i've already made an image and highlighted where it said that in this thread.

I can't recall the exact amount, but at one time the body can only properly absorb X grams of protein at once, which is the reason I split my protein intake throughout the day. Of course my primary source of protein is NOT from protein shakes (egg whites, lean filet mignon, chicken breast, tuna, pasta on carb days, etc...)

There's a ceiling for how much protein the body can process in a given time, but that doesn't mean that protein goes to waste. That surplus protein just gets processed later.

In terms of downing chicken breasts, I find it easier if I throw them in a slower cooker and then shred them later. Right now, I'm actually finishing up the last bits of three chickens breasts I plucked out of the slow cooker. I probably couldn't down three chicken breasts in one sitting otherwise, since I wouldn't be able to eat them as quickly.

Well, since I have seen evidence on both sides without any definite proof, I'm going to keep on doing it the way I have been.

you eat a lot of protein it sits in your stomach slowly getting digested slowly getting absorbed into your bloodstream.

for example if you eat a load of casein not all of it will digest immediately, but if you measure amino acid levels, they stay elevated even several hours later

This is going to come off as random. I feel like the amount of protein suggested for weight lifters is much higher than necessary. But what do I know.
