Not positive on this but I think there are some non processed whey powders. I take Jay Robb's which tastes pretty good and provides 24g per serving, it has no HGH.

It doesn't take days to digest food, but rather hours. How long it takes to digest food depends largly on what type of food it is. Food high in fiber takes longer to digest than foods low in fiber. That is one of the reasons fiber is good for helping people feel full longer and it is reccommended for those trying to lose weight to eat lots of food full of fiber. Fiber also is great for the digestive tract as it helps keep it clean, due to the fiber pushing out other foods. \n\nBeef is not very high in fiber. In fact, I don't think beef has any fiber at all. It has a lot of protien, which is really good for you too, but it lacks fiber. So, it should only take about 6-8 hours to digest beef.

It's quickly absorbed by your muscles. It tastes good and is convenient.  Most bodybuilders feel they can't get enough protein unless they supplement.  I use it and feel it helps, but it doesn't make a tremendous difference. How much progress you make in lifting depends on your genetics and self discipline.

0 days. There is always a fresh supply. It is secreted into your mouth and swallowed almost immediately.

Probably a few days...try a milkshake, protein shake or soup. You could even get a small food processor and mutilate your food, that way you could get the taste you crave.

Some say that formula can be hard for some babies to digest.  We used Hergenberger Goat's Milk instead with great results.  It comes in a powder from Whole Foods in our area.  We would make the milk regular strength and then dilute it by half (50% warm water, 50% full strength goats milk)for new born and then 25%/75% at about a year and full strength at about 2 years.\n\nI understand that when it is hard to digest, the baby's system wants to shut down and sleep (like adults after eating too much) and that could be why he won't stay awake long enough to eat more.  \n\nAlso the Goat's Milk has no aluminum in it as some formulas do - like many processed, powerdery foods do to keep it from clumping.

Optimum 100% Whey Protein is excellent.  It's about $30.00 and gives you 80 servings.  You can get it from bodybuilding.com or any health food store for that matter.

I'm a vegetarian, so I'm always searching for more protein. The best-tasting and least noticable protein powder would be Whey protein powder. It works like a charm, gives you lots of protein, and you won't even notice it.

Take it within 30 minutes after a workout.  This is when your body starts repairing your muscles and needs the protein.  Eat an apple or orange before a workout.  This will give you a little energy and prepare your body to help absorb the protein after the workout.

Food stays in your body for 24 hours before being fully digested and producing waste.  Luqiud is absorbed much more quickly and can leave the body within minutes.

By drinking only water and eating ONLY protein. ZERO CARBS. It's kind of dangerous, and should not be done for more than 48 hours.

Milk has 2 proteins, whey and casein. They are separated when cheese is made. Whey is the watery portion and casein solidifies into cheese.\n\nWeight lifters need more protein to build large muscles and encourage growth, so most take a whey protein supplement. It has become so popular because it is very bio-available, meaning your body absorbs it very quickly. Only egg protein is superior to whey in terms of bio-availability. \n\nSo, a quick whey protein shake after a workout infuses your tired muscles with a much needed jolt of protein. This helps the muscles to begin growning more quickly.

Quick and easy.  The protein is usually pre-digested so when you take it in liquid form, the body can readily absorb it.  A lot easier on the stomach for equivalent protein compared to eating a piece of meat, especially around bedtime.

Keep in mind that egg whites are primarily composed of a protein known as ovalbumin.  After you swallow an egg white, a protein-degrading enzyme known as Pepsin is secreted into to the stomach and will begin to digest the protein.  Although protein digestion begins in the stomach, most of the protein will be digested in the early portion of the small intestine, the duodenum.  Once the protein is broken down into amino acids (the building blocks of protein), those acids are absorbed by the small intestine and enter the blood stream.

Empty stomach. Helps with absorption. You can mix it with your protein shakes though.

"...gastric emptying, ... following a meal usually takes between 2 and 6 hours."  "Digestion and absorption of nutrients within the small intestine are rapid with most of the carbohydrate, protein, and fat being absorbed within 30 minutes after chyme (partially digested food from the stomach) has reached the small intestine."  "the presence of unabsorbed food  in the ileum (lower part of the small intestine) may increase the amount of time material remains in the small intestine and therefore may increase nutrient absorption."  These are direct quotes from the reference source noted below.\n\nFrom this, it seems reasonable to say that food is 'fully digested' 2 1/2 to 6 1/2 hours (or more) after eating.\n\nHope this helps and good luck!
