Protein is one of those fascinating nutrients that allow extremely good for you there is a maximum healthy limit. There has been numerous studies that have proven this but the exact amount of protein that is in fact to much seems to vary study to study. This specific study goes on to discuss the differences in how the body takes in fast-digesting versus slow-digesting protein. In respect to fast-digesting proteins a young adult can take in 20-25g of protein while still maintaing a lean-tissue building process. This is because the fast-digesting proteins lack the surplus of other macronutrients that could hinder the digestion process. Conversely slow-digesting proteins are more likely to contain other macronutrients that can slow down the digestion process meaning a young adult would be able to consume more because of the delay in amino acid uptake. The study concluded in saying that based on the results a human would most benefit from a 1.6 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight per day diet in order to maximize the lean-muscle building process.
