Too much protein

[jdcii]

Is it possible to take in too much protein? How would you know if you have too much?

[Jen]

youd die.




jk. how much are you getting now?

My guess would be that what your body doesn't use ends up in the toilet.

It's not wasted per se, but it's not doing what you want protein to be doing in general after a certain threshold. Getting up to 1.5g per lb of bodyweight is still fine for most people. It's getting up near 2g/lb or more that you'll start to see this happening.

my body weight is 287 and i am taking in around 250 - 300 grams a day

You're fine.

Make sure your drinking water though....but that goes w/o saying.
