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 :-)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
