How much protein is too much?

[OfimNedu]

I'm bulking now and I'm pushing 400-450g protein per day. How much is too much? I'm thinking in terms of kidney function.

i don't know about kidney dangers but i would say if you ate 30 grams of protien every 2 hours that would 8 meals per day (depending on how much you sleep) which would only be 240 grams of protein... i think 450 is too much. there is probabily a good amount of that being converted to glucose

I don't think it's possible to judge a protein intake limit, but if you take certain steps to prevent problems you should be fine:
Daily intake:
Cranberry extract
Ala (Glucorell-R)
Glutamine Peptides
Vit C
2 gallons of water

30-40 grams of protien at a time is the most you can use...... after that your body starts doing some weird stuff with it.

there are studies that back my statement but i don't feel like finding them again.

mr x might try to disprove it...at that point i'll go find a few

I have never seen any studies about a fixed amount of protein being the limit

it depends on so many factors.....

Please provide me w/ studies say that ALL PROTEINS IN HUMANS are DIGESTED AT 30-40g at a time. I'd love to see it....if you can, I'll eat my house.

[Mr.X]

btw...to me at a time means about 30min.

so how much protein can be digested in 30 mins?

DITTO!! Some 150 lb. geek won't assimilate as much as a 275 lb. monster. That's only 1 of MANY myriads of factors.

i'm too lazy.... but i specifically remember reading that after 40 grams of protien only blood glucose levels rose... there was no more amino acids per deciliter at 100g of protien than there was for 40g. and nitrogen balance was the same

i can tell you that the digestive system is one factor limiting how much protien per sitting we can take in.


and everything i read was assuming a person was not taking any drugs to change or improve the person's ability to use protien
