too much protein?

[Mr. dB]

Here's my answer to the question of how much protein you can eat in one sitting:

Did you throw up? If not, then you didn't overdo the protein.

drink lots of water bro, and typically unless you have compromised kidney function to begin with, excess protein is of no additional effect.

300 grams/day is my max and that's a rarity....of course I'm not jacked either...200-250 is the norm for me

if you are concerned getthe tests completed.

Creatine/protein and muscle breakdown will contribute

I'd only do it if he/she has competed and is very knowledgeable about the "fitness" industry, ect.

Otherwise, you'll just be eating more fruits and veggies... The high protein is considered a "fad" by most and is fairly underground so to speak... the high protein intake (as far as all the meats, ect) that alot here follow is not mainstream and accepted.

And they all deny it as a good way of living, as they sit on their couch and eat T.V. dinners.

btw


the ONLY studies that showed that protein actually caused kindey damage were perfromed on thos with polycystic kidney disease.


To my knowledge, NO study has shown a link to protein intake and kidney damage in healthy individuals

that nutritionist will most likely put you on the goverment's recommended diet just like they teach in school.. my girlfriend is going to college for nutrition and dietitics and I regularly have to de-brainwash her
