Joe Wieder and everything he stands for is a crock of shit. That's the skinny buddy.

It is conventional wisdom that somewhere between 20 and 30 grams of protein is absorbed in the gut IF that protein is your typical fast-absorping protein powder. This is the reason why dosages of protein powder are typically in this region.

But REAL food sources of protein take several hours to digest, all the way from the stomach to the colon. Meat protein, for example, is slowly absorped throughout the digestive process.

Also I think you're misreading the definition of '1 sitting'. You should be eating several meals throughout the day, equating to several 'sittings'.
