too much protein at once? 80 grams?

I just ate 80 grams of protein in one sitting, I drank most of it. Half a scoop whey protein and then I blended up 8 ounces of turkey breast in water and drank it. Then I ate 2 eggs. Is this a waste of protein consumption? Am I hurting my organs?

    I doubt your hurting yourself. I don't imagine its to much at one time, do you mean your body won't use it all? I think it still will but I would like to know as well


    ETA,^ thanks for the link. I was thinking along those lines, using info from my A&P classes

    Nope, there is a myth about the body being able to only process small amounts of protein at a time but that's just nonsense. IF'ers generally get all of their daily calories in a small (4 hour) window, we're talking 200g+ in that time period with no problems. Hell my dinner tonight was 134g *shrug*

    It was okay during the first taste. It didnt taste as bad as I thought it would. But then I had to drink the whole thing and it became disgusting. Never doing it again.

    Ha ha! So glad there are people to try these things out so that I don't have to try it. Funny stuff. I'm imagining it tasted like run-off water from a turkey farm by the end. :laugh:
