I must have just eaten about 100g's of protein in one of the best meals ever!

Guess I could consider this a pretty decent cheat meal only for the quantity of food I consumed.

I tossed about 20 shrimp in a skillet with a bit of olive oil, garlic, a bit of salt and some pepper. While that was cooking, I put a mega piece of salmon on the BBQ (was to share between 2 of us).. The salmon had a bit of olive oil brushed on it, some pepper and a bit of italian seasoning.

While everything was cooking, I ate about 5-6 chunks of crab meat, and some of a mixture containing unsalted almonds, cashews and walnuts. When everything was ready I ate the salmon/shrimp with a cup of broccoli. My mom doesnt like salmon so she had lamb chops and gave me 1 lamb chop as well hehe. Washed it all down with about 2 litres of water. SOOOO tasty.

-I decided it was probably best not to take 2 fish oil caps with the meal due to the amount of salmon I ate

Pretty good cheat meal

there is zero truth to that statement. the body wil digest how ever many grams of protein are present in the GIT. how much of that protein is utilized is a completely different story as there are many factors. but to make things simple here is an example.

Person A is a 220 lb bodybuilder @ 10% bf. Person B is a 220 lb couch potato with 20% bf. the rate of muscle protein turnover is higher in person A, he particaptes in strenuous weight training for over an hour a day 6 days a week while person B watches Deep Space 9 for 12 hours on the couch all week. Person A has 198 lbs of non-fat while person B has 176 lbs of non-fat. the body of person A requires more protein than B based on the amount of muscle mass alone. so it is quite obvious that person A needs more protein than B and that the body of A will utilize more protein than B.

so things such as exercise, muscle mass, genetics and goals all effect how much protein a person needs and how much there body can and will utilize.
