The Bodybuilding Protein Marketing Ploy

I see 50 or 45 grams of protein, and I think: "Oh my God! You can't digest all that protein unless you take extra amounts of protylitic enzymes and hydrochloric acid."

If you're a man, 30 to 35 grams is all you can digest at a meal. For a woman, it's 25.

Undigested protein is converted to sugar. It sounds good, but it's just a game of one upmanship between companies.

One company says, "We have 25 grams of protein." The next one says, "Well, we have 35." And so on and so on.

It's just a marketing ploy.

I'm new to this website and I am also finding a lot of Gironda's information to be quite amusing, but this is just junk!

I read somewhere that Vince only had two meals a day..2 x 35gms = 70 gms protein a day...not enough for the average working male

the fact that vince contradicts him self a lot tells me he was a man of integrity. He wasnt affraid of changing his mind, this shows true character. There is not one system or method that works for everybody, and he was aware of that and that makes him one of the greatest in my perception!
