Also...I don't remember who said this, it was so long ago. But a rule of thumb I was given is that our bodies can't process more than about 25 gms of protein at a time. That's one reason why we tend to stay full so long after a high protein meal...it's taking its time getting processed.

As opposed to carbs, which, whether they are simple, complex or "healthy" whole grains. , will be out of your digestive system and either burned or stored in a maximum of two hours.
