How much protein is to much?

[Sonyao]

I am making and trying all different types of protein shakes. I made a coffee mocha shake this morning and it was awesome except I mix my gnc powder and chike powder and then used hood smart food milk. This gave a total of 50 g of protein . Is this too much?

Not if you sip it and make it last a couple of hours.....

>Grace - Agreed.

If you were eating a meal I would suggest 25grams, but if you're in "sippy" mode then might as well go for broke. I wouldn't do much more than 50 in a single drink though. It might get a bit...doughy.

There is only a certain amount of protein your body can absorb at a time so don't assume that b/c you're drinking a 50 gram shake that that's what you're getting! Better to drink the shakes 3x a day or supplement w/ meals.
