A member asked:
Can protein go to the abdominal muscles first when eaten?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Anything that enters your GI system is broken down/absorbed, then enters your bloodstream and is indiscriminantly distributed throughout your body. Of course, there are exceptions to this (such as the blood-brain barrier which does not allow everything to pass into the brain).
