What about the old saying that our body cannot absorve more than 25 to 30 g of protein per meal. 2) I know that too much carbs will be stored as fast if not used but does too much protein do the same. 3) It is wrong to have meals every 3 hours since our pervious meals are still under digestion and aborption, right?

Can it really be so extreme? That whey is strictly anabolic and casein strictly anti-catabolic? My guess would be no. However, my main question is about the utilization of other sources of protein. For example, is meat (or soy, etc.) primarily anabolic, anti-catabolic, or both? Could it be that milk outperformed soy not so much because of a slower rate of digestion but because it maybe has a more optimal ratio of anabolic/anti-catabolic proteins? Are the anti-catabolic effects a direct result of the slow rate of digestion? Or might there be a fast anti-catabolic protein? All I can find here is that you mention that some researchers suggest a whole food meal puts someone in an anabolic state for 5-6 hours. If the answer is in your book and you wish to direct me to it, feel free. Yet, I’m sorry to say, though it sounds very interesting and informative, I probably won't buy it as I'm a poor recent graduate with lots of student loans! I’ll have to make do with what I can find online. I don’t believe this issue was something you mentioned I could find in the book (although I'm sure you don't mention everything that's in the book and not in this series), and it's not in the chart comparing protein sources. Also, thanks a lot for writing this. The series is a great mix of information and clarity unlike most nutrition/weightlifting articles, which tend to be too technical for a layman or oversimplified, dumbed-down (or simply dumb in its own right) junk. And good job not going too easy on stupid or demanding questions. Hopefully you don’t consider mine to be one of them!

I just wanted to say thank-you for the article series. I've spent the evening reading thru a few of your articles, including this entire series and some of the referenced articles. My favorite was the after-workout chocolate milk! I found myself impressed with how unbiased you were towards brands & products and that you offer useful information (heavily researched & common sense) allowing people to make their own intelligent choices. I'll admit I eat a mostly (95%) vegetarian diet of mostly organic origin, plus dairy, with that last 5% being occasional fish, and I don't work out much at all. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed the information you offer and I learned quite a bit. Thank-you for having such a wonderful web site. - Charles Hello Lyle.

This is just reality. I buy lowfat meats and supplement with fish oils which is far more economical than buying organic. You can edit your own posts, by the way.

What i meant was that organic meats have less omega 6 and more omega 3 + higher values of vitamnis, minerals, etc. A big typo above.

The imporant difference between the regular meats and eggs you get in the store, is that the animals are corn-fed instead of beig fed the food they would eat in a natural habitat. What do you think happens to these gluten slaves? Well, for one their fat profile is different (less omega 6, more omega 3), but some research also point in the direction of higher values of vitamins, minerals and other chemicals needed for our human body. Simple lesson; eat organic if you can. :) Great articles, but you are ignorant of something very important; organic eggs and meat (yes, “organic” is a very flawed terminologi).
