Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: This is a very common belief in fitness circles, but it confuses two different concepts: absorption and muscle protein synthesis (MPS). Your gut can absorb virtually all the protein you eat, regardless of the amount. The 20-30g figure comes from older studies that showed this amount was enough to *maximally stimulate* MPS for a short period (a few hours). It was thought any extra was wasted, but newer research proves this wrong. 🤓
