Was going to ask for the same thing. This theory of "the body can only absorb XXX amount of protein per hour" has been banded about for years. The amount always changes and as far as I know has never been proven. Alot of big guys I know actually laugh it off. Far too much science on forums nowadays by people that look like shit. "You must do this, at this time, and it has to be weighed out to xxx." Bollocks.

Also the comment about not eating right if you have to take shakes?? Is that it then, no more to it than that, you're just eating wrong? Nowt to do with price, convenience, ease etc etc. Might want to look up the word supplement...... They are there as an addition to food.
