Can You Have Too Much Protein?

[Darksong2k1]

Drink lots of water.
Eat lots of protein.

I'm surprised not one person mentioned that protein can be broken down into muscle glycogen via gluconeogenesis. It has the least likelihood of being stored as fat compared to any other macronutrient. Some is also excreted as urea.

Tell that chick to STFU. The reason she's thin is because she eats 2 sticks of celery daily.

If you take too much protein your body will respond the only way it knows best.

It'll shit it out.

End of story.

more likely it will store it as fat.

Darksong - STFU???

 

[Darksong2k1]

more likely it will store it as fat.

The body will...

A) Use the protein to repair tissue.
B) Use the protein, break it down into glycogen for the muscles.
C) Excrete as urea
D) Store as fat.

I'm a little skeptical on the order of C and D, but I'm pretty sure you'll piss most of it out.

Alpine tell her to shut the fuck up.

Darksong - Right on bro! LOL I'll pass on the word.

one quick word on ur body storing proteins as fat. Firslty it has to convert it into glucose and then into fat, our bodies are efficient and that aint no efficient process, especially as its got a shit load of muscle already stored when it needs it. If u have too many calories, its more likely the excess carbs or fat in ur diet will be turned into adipose tissue.

Right on guys, water is the best tonic for ur kidneys, dilute the urea and it can do no harm.
