I had always read that your body can only absorb a certain amount of protein per meal and excess protein was lost.

This was the reason for eating many small meals because it allows you to elminate "excess" protein waste.

Anyways, how much protein can your body absorb? 20? 40? 80? I had always heard it was something like 25?

I ask this because my protein mix is 20 per scoop and what's the point of putting in so much that you waste it.

I think it depends on the individual but I think it's a bit higher of a range 30-40.
