Does that mean I'd have less to gain from a protein supplement? I assume it does.
When you say less to gain, again, is this per day or per sitting? If its daily, you sure about that figure? I know you, and you are known to point out occasionally our physisques are too dissimilar, so i doubt youre on 40gs per day.
Here is an article about 30gs of protein in various food items.
4ounces of steak or chicken is 113g of 'meat' is about 30g of protein

Quite a good article on the Protein industry.

It mentions that the human body can only process 30 to 50g of protein intake in one go, with the rest being excreted in urine.
Looking at my myfitnesspal logs from a little while ago, I average about 40g of protein in my normal diet. Does that mean I'd have less to gain from a protein supplement? I assume it does.
