Can u take to much protein



Recommended Posts

I've had about 99 grams of Protein today is that to much. Being a female should I just stick to the 64g a day. Anyone know...

Not too much. I try to stay between 60-100. Average 80.

My understanding of to much Protein is that once you hit the amount your body can absorb for the day then it all basically runs through you and really doesn't make any difference. That's what I have read anyways. :)

Unless you have kidney disease, or some other sort of metabolic problem, no, not too much.

You have to remember too, your body can only absorb 30-40 grams of Protein at once.

But unless you've got kidney issues I don't think it'll hurt. Especially if you're working out ;)

How can you get that much in? I get diarrhea with the Protein Shakes, and am having problems getting even 30!

I'm 3 weeks out and rarely drink Protein shakes and get 60-80 a day. I personally eat 3 meals and 2 Snacks every 2-3 hours and put Protein first. I have been super crazy about chicken as of late.

I think it depends on height, goal weight, etc., but my doctor said a minimum of 80 grams for me. They want me to get 80 to 110 grams a day. I'm 5'8"

Whatever Protein ur body cant use ull pee out. Learned that in college nutrition class. Body builders who drink like 150gms of protein a day are literally putting it down the toilet!

Ok thanks for the advice an I was on the bothhouse Protein Drink :-( they didn't have enough Protein an wayyyyyyyy to much sugar. My system has never been regular, so I'm not in the bathroom. I'm now back on my Unjury :-) with soy milk or almond. Today is just day two. The last six months I've been over eating bc I was stressed. No job an raising my son. I'm ready to lose this weight I'm going back to just the shakes Water an soy burgers. I'm determine to lose 30 pounds so my dad will stop smoking. We agreed on 90 pounds. I'm a year an four months out an haven't done my best bc I picked up old habits. Now I'm more focused n determined to lose this weight . Plus when I lose the 30 I'll be in the onederland :-)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
