another food question

So if we eat more than 30 grams of protein in one sitting should we just count it as 30 grams as the body generally can't absorb more than this at a time?

If you eat more than 30 grams, no worries. There's no law that says your body can only digest 30 grams at one sitting every time, that's just the average number and so it's something tangible to shoot for. It's very probable that at some meals you can digest more, sometimes less, and it prob. varies from day to day and between individuals.

Whatever you eat that your body can't digest, you just excrete it in the usual manner!! ;)

Ok wait but how thick is suppose to be ? I was just thinking about this yesterday.

Just like a deck of cards in every dimension. A lot of times, boneless pork chops, salmon filet, and smaller steaks are already IN that size.
