Too much protein?????Please help!!!

[bertp]

I've upped my protein to about 60-70 a meal, about 450-500 a day since I've started my cycle. Problem is my kidneys have started hurting this past week. I weigh about 230-235 presently at about 12%bf. How much protein do I really need? I don't want to cut my gains short, but more importantly, I don't want to have kidney failure. I already take Cranberry extract and drink about 1 1/2 - 2 gallons of water a day. Scary thing is, two days ago after my workout, I suddenly stopped sweating, then I got real cold and dizzy. Running a little fever even. Assumed I was just dehydrated and drank a bunch of water and Gatorade. Finally, after a few hours I felt better. Still wake up with pain in my lower back though. Anyone have a clue?

Protien should have little effect on the kidneys, but it can make your liver work overtime. I dont think you need any more than 300mg protien, but thats just me.

As for you kidneys hurting, may help to know what your on. I for one had a lot of lower back pain while on fina, but it was not kidneys, it was just muscle tightness, which can easily be misconstrued as kidney pain.

When taking that much protein it is very important that you take a fiber supplement also. If not you will get constipated like never before.

I agree.

Go to the doc and get it checked out. Might be something else.

I doubt it's the protein although 500 grams is too high. Man you must be spending a shitload on groceries!*L*
But seriously a gram and a half is enough...350 grams/day.

go see a doc, Im sure that has nothing to do with the uping of the protein, your body can absord a great amount of protein and use 85% of it. You tried cranberry ex thats what I would have done and nothing happened for ya, so a doc is a must

if you are bulking then 300g will suffice
