too much protein for my size?

[benitazoo]

Can you tell me the truth and facts on if I am taking too much protein for my size? Here are my stats: I am 139 pounds and only 5'5", so i am a smaller guy with a tight bone structure. I'm built good though and thick especially in upper body. right now I am counting my protein and i clock in at over 180g a day.

No. It's about right - if you wanna grow

there is no rule for how much protein you need. the studies show you only need to average around .6g of protein a day per weight.. so for you getting around 90g a day on average is plenty

you aren't going to grow muscle off of just protein, you need to lift properly

The way you said "taking protein" makes me think you are consuming protein shakes. I would just stress that you need to be eating real food if you want to grow.

What are your protein sources?

 

[RickRock13]

Youre right where you need to be on protein

 

[Topps_Baseball88]

You are just fine

just don't forget to drink more water, whey protein + real food protein is good to go.
