@grayandgray It takes 10x the amount of energy to convert protein to fat, and that's simplifying it alot. Given the opportunity your body is going to convert carbs, or store fat. Everyone just eat solid food, there is no shortcut to losing weight. If your going to supplement anything I'd suggest antioxidants for health purposes.

@grayandgray Everything physiology related is science :-) The limiting factor of whey protein absorption is the length of time viscous material (liquid) spends in our digestive track, which is 1.5 hours. Its the process of digestion that is limited. Out of the 15 grams of WP you can digest in 1.5 hours, some of that may be stored as fat. However unlikely if your body has had carbs or fat in the previous 18 hours.

@Senick the question seems to turn on whether some kind of "excess" of protein per serving, say 60g, gets wasted/excreted or turned to fat, or does the body just chug along on it for 6 hours? That seems to be the reason for this 30-40grams and meals every 3 hours, which could have no basis in science.

Everyone, please listen to the scientists for protein absorption facts. Your small intestine can only absorb a certain amount of amino acids a day. Breaking it down further, we can only absorb 8-10g of whey protein an hour, period. I seem to be the only one citing sources... Oben J, Kothari SC & Anderson; ML. An open label study to determine the effects of an oral proteolytic enzyme on whey protein concentrate metabolism in healthy males JISSN 2008 5(10).

@ThePaulietta Nitro peak is great, high quality protein amino acids, a lot of good stuff. Nitropeak has low carbs tho make sure to eat plenty or else it the protein wont even get absorbed

@MayorofC and EGGS though whey isolate (has to be cross filtered NEVER ion exchange) are good too if you're a busy, busy, busy dude like me. supplements are just supplements, they're not meant to replace real food.
