Is too much Protein bad?

[Jan_08 0]

Hi guys,

What are the effects of getting too much Protein? My doc told me to get 50g per day. But I think that I consume more than that. Are there effects??

I believe you need a certain amt of carbs and lots of Water to break it down . Just remember there are calories in protien too so too much will just make you fat. Some Drs recomend 80 so don't worry about anything between 50 and 80

Too much Protein can kill you, but it requires complete extremes that, for all intents and purposes, you will never have to worry about.

Just space your Protein out. Any thing in excessive quantities converts. 60g is a guideline number. Sometimes I'm there, more and more frequently I'm not, and I'm doing just fine.

Proteins keep you full longer than any other category. Hence, good for bandsters.
