Subject: A few more nutrition questions... I posted this in the supplement thread, but thought I would start a new thread in hopes of a response. The article I'm referencing is posted in the supplement thread--can't paste it with my phone :/ I had never considered viscosity as a determinant of absorption. It has been my understanding that protein consumption should be spread out because the body can only absorb "so much" per meal, but that amount was ~35g. Am I way off here? Is the 8-10g/hour from the whey solely because it's a liquid? That seems like too big a discrepancy between liquids and solids. If it doesn't get absorbed, does that mean that those calories aren't being absorbed by the body either? Finally, that same article mentioned a pretty big window (.36-2.0g/lb) for the recommended amount of grams of protein/lb of body weight. What do you all recommend for endurance athletes?
