30g of Protein: Science...or More BS?
About this episode
Caleigh and Sara discuss the myth of protein absorption limits while sharing personal updates and insights on nutrition.
Season 8 is here, and apparently Caleigh and Sara are still incapable of acting normal for even five minutes. In this episode, we kick things off with some wildly unserious chaos, a life update from Caleigh about putting her kids in public school, and a very real conversation about how routine changes can throw everything off, including workouts, meals, and general sanity. Then we get into the actual myth-busting: can your body only process 30 grams of protein at a time? We break down where that idea came from, why people keep repeating it, and why it doesn’t hold up when you look at real-life nutrition needs. We also talk protein shakes, recovery, misleading “high-protein” food marketing, edamame pasta, protein bars, and why extreme nutrition rules should always make you pause and ask a few more questions. If you’ve ever wondered whether your protein is “going to waste” or gotten confused by nutrition advice that sounds way too absolute, this one’s for you. Connect with us on social media!
