A member asked:
I heard our bodies only absorb about 25 grams of protein every one or two hours. does that mean if i eat more than that, then it's a waste?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a waste: It's not a waste insofar as your body will process the excess protein into fat, and store it this way.
