Protien poisoning

[Subzeero]

Please discuss. I eat too much tuna sometimes, three cans a day. To meet my quota.

I don't prefer peanut butter because I think it gives me acne.

If you know any good threads about this issue, please post a link.

Wouldn't a mainly protien diet get u in trouble?

I hope you don't eat albacore. With the high levels of mercury in tuna, I would not eat 3 cans a day. The current FDA recommendation is one can a week.

Really? Damn. Would one can a day be dangerous? I am thinking along the lines of chicken of the sea or bumble bee low sodium versions (or another equivalent brand).

I eat 1 can a day 5 times a week... as for protein poisoning... wouldn't know about it. The key thing when on a higher protein diet (say, over 50% of caloric intake) is to keep your water intake HIGH... All that protein is harsh on your liver, so you need to keep flushing all the bad stuff out.

Aim for keeping your urine transparent throughout the day

Yes water is important and drink lots of it.....but there is absolutely no scientific evidence that proves that too much protein causes liver damage, is an old time myth.....

There's no such thing a s protein poisoning

You may have food poisoning or you may be allergic to some protein

What are the symptoms?

I am consuming 21 times the recommended weekly intake?

I like Coverleaf as it is not as chewy or rough as other brands. It does not mention anywhere on the can that it has mercury in it. I am not surprised.

14 grams of protien in a 170g net and 120g drained can.

It is mainly spick Jack Tuna, water and salt.

Is it possible that you compare this with the albacore you were talking about?
