Fake news. ❌You can only absorb 30g of protein at a time. Nope. If you eat more than 30g at a time, it isn’t going to be wasted. Protein absorption depends mostly on the source. In the grand scheme of your day it doesn’t matter how much you per meal, but aim for per day. ❌Protein is bad for your kidneys. Protein is essential for life! If you have healthy kidneys with no underlying conditions, higher amounts of protein are not harmful. In fact, your protein needs may increase with exercise intensity and age. ❌Protein will make you bulky. Protein is necessary for growth and repair but won’t make you bulky! It takes a calorie surplus and specific training to be build and bulk. ❌All protein sources are created equal. Not exactly. Some proteins are complete, like animal proteins and some incomplete, like collagen or certain plant sources. Also some are more bioavailable than others, meaning you absorb the amino acids easier. For example, it’s easier to absorb the amino acids from whey or a whole egg compared to peanuts or beans.
