You are what you just ate
Over 50 percent of the protein just eaten will make it into a person's circulation within five hours; the rest will be taken up by tissues in the gut or will not be absorbed. In the same period, 11 percent of ingested protein is incorporated into new muscle.
Overall, we break down and rebuilt up to 2 percent of muscle each day and completely rebuild ourselves every two to three months.
