To much protein?

[mark! 449]

It depends, with me, on what kind of Protein I'm taking at that time. I've gotten some Proteins from a few sponsors that I felt I couldn't get in my normal amount. I don't personally follow the 1/1 ratio of grams of protein/bodyweight. When I was in the 340's and 350's competing, I stuck to about 250g to 325g Protein per day, with as much coming from bison, beef or chicken as I could get in.

If you're feeling like you're hitting atrophy, you could most your protein numbers around a bit. Usually on lifting days, my protein intake is way higher for obvious reasons. Are you running hard say, a day after lifting? It could be fatigue in the muscle heads causing that feeling, I've noticed I cannot even think about running after squat day or my calves and hamstrings will be screaming 10 minutes in to my cardio. Are you taking any creatine on lifting days or any recovery things? I mix creapure with my protein, and glutamine, it helps with recovery quite a bit. You could always adjust your macro-nutrients around to get 150g protein a see if that helps the feeling and recovery. For each individual it takes some tweaking of the numbers to get the right amount of protein, just depending on how you lift and run, and how your body is.

yes but like many things the factors are dependent on many variables. Protein has calories per just like everything else.

This is the breakdown

Fat: 1 gram = 9 calories

Protein: 1 gram = 4 calories

Carbohydrates: 1 gram = 4 calories

Alcohol: 1 gram = 7 calories

I am taking 95 grams a day of Unjury and that is what my nut wants me to have if not by food by supplements.< /p>

Is there such a thing as to much Protein? I am averaging around 100g/day. My trainer thinks this may be a reason that I am not losing weight. I am curious if anyone else has ever had this problem. I am working out daily and my body composition is changing' date=' but I worry because I am not losing any weight at all.[/quote']

I'm in the same situation. Running 10-15 miles a week and not lost any weight. I'm meeting with the doctor, nurse and nutritionist today. Any insight??
