Dr. Bill Campbell reveals why consuming 100g of protein in one sitting is failing to build the muscle you expect "The study gave subjects 25 grams of protein or 100 grams of protein immediately after a resistance training workout. When we eat protein, it doesn't all go to muscle. We have something called splanchnic sequestration" "As we get older, this splanchnic sequestration increases so that when we eat protein, more of it is directed to the intestines and organs and does not make it to the blood to go to our muscles" "With the 25 gram dose, I think it was four and a half grams that made it to the skeletal muscles. With the 100 gram dose, it was something like 13 grams out of the 100 that made it to the endpoint of skeletal muscle"
