According to this research published in International journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, it says


- Raw egg protein ....1.3 grams/hour
- Milk Protein...........3.5 grams/hour
- Whey isolate..........8-10 grams/hour

<div></div><div id="QUOTEHEAD">QUOTE</div><div id="QUOTE">Absorption rates of amino acids from the gut can vary from 1.4 g/h for raw egg
white to 8 to 10 g/h for whey protein isolate. Slowly absorbed amino acids such
as casein (~ 6 g/h) and repeated small doses of whey protein (2.9 g per 20 min,
totaling ~ 7 g/h) promote leucine balance, a marker of protein balance, superior to
that of a single dose of 30 g of whey protein or free amino acids which are both
rapidly absorbed (8 to 10 g/h), and enhance amino acid oxidation. This gives us
an initial understanding that although higher protein intakes are physiologically
possible, and tolerable by the human body, they may not be functionally optimal
in terms of building and preserving body protein. The general, although incorrect
consensus among athletes and bodybuilders, is that rapid protein absorption corre-
sponds to greater muscle building.</div>

I'm curious what you guys think. Here is the link,
