Can Your Body Only Absorb 30g of Protein at Once? Protein Distribution - Day 16
Description
Day 16/90: Does when you eat protein matter, or is hitting your daily protein goal enough? In today’s episode of the RAC Summer Recomp Series, we break down the science of protein timing, muscle protein synthesis (MPS), the leucine threshold, and the myth that your body can only absorb 30 grams of protein at a time. You’ll learn why spreading your protein throughout the day, prioritizing a high-protein breakfast, and strength training work together to support body recomposition, muscle growth, recovery, and fat loss after 35.
Today’s RAC Targets
- Eat 25–35g of protein at 3 meals today.
- Create your protein skeleton by dividing your daily protein goal across your meals.
- Complete at least one strength training workout this week.
