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

[bertp]

I'm fine now. Don't know what the hell was going on. Nearly doubled my water intake to about 3 gal. a day. Probably wasn't drinking enough water.

if you are bulking then 300g will suffice

For someone that weighs 240, that doesn't sound like much. And I was 258 last year when I ended my last cycle. So I'll hit that again pretty easy, seeing as how this is only the beginning of my second week. That means I'll need even more protein.

The human body can only process so much protein at any given point in time, the rest it'll just pass so it's wasted. It's better to take less protein, more times then to take bigger doses at one time. I would say stick to 50 grams 8 times a day and you'll be fine. I drink about 38 grams 6 times a day. plus the protein form 4 meals is a good amount for me. that puts me at about 400 grams a day. very well spread.

If your kidney's are hurting it's not from the protein. I agree that you can down to 300 to 350 grams a day though. I think that you may have low back pain in the muscle or tightness in that area. In any case a big boy like you needs to drink about six liters of water a day. If it keeps up or gets worse go to a doctor.

I'm not having the kidney(back) pain anymore. I went from drinking about 6 liters to closer to 8-10 liters. Thanks for the replies though.
