Another one of the ongoing myths in the fitness industry is that your body can only absorb a certain amount of protein per meal.
The most popular belief is that you can only absorb 30 grams. And with that belief, people quickly believed that the best way to build muscle and optimize protein absorption is by splitting your meals into smaller portions.
Some go as far as splitting it to 10 meals per day. But is all of this splitting necessary?
