is too much proteins bad for you?

[x3mvess]

guys is there a way to have too much proteins? cuz i take a shitload every day and some ppl at school tell me its bad for me... can it be?

 

[Krazy Killah]

Depends on your weight for example if you take around 190 grams of protein a day and are around 185-190 pounds. So my guess is kind of yes its bad I would only eat one gram of protein per pound of body weight.

I body build and care about nutrition myself, but the only way protein can be bad for you is if you dont drink enough water. taking too much protein can cause a buildup of toxic ketones. these so-called ketogenic diets can thrust your kidneys into overdrive in order to flush these ketones from your body. as your kidneys rid your body of these toxic ketones, you can lose a significant amount of water, which puts you at risk of dehydration.

also, you cant just take a shitload of protein and expect to get big. you have to take in your good amount of carbs and other nutrients for energy. but if you are thinking about gaining mass, try to take in at least 1g of protein per lb of pure body weight (normal weight - fat), go up to at least 3000 calories a day, take a multivitamin, and a good hypertrophy split workout, and you should be good.

i would recommend you go to bodybuilding.com and read all their articles and go on their forums. they helped me out a lot.

I seriously doubt that it could be too bad for you. I'm pretty sure this is one of those health myths that isn't actually true.

 

[PerfectPc]

Too much of anything is bad for you. Always limit yourself to the right amount.

Another problem with muscle proteins is as soon as you stop taking them and stop exercising, it turns to fat much quicker than if you build muscles without proteins.

 

[XSafire]

yes. it will eventually start causing internal bleeding if you OD on it.

 

[x3mvess]

that sounds a bit like a lie. anybody can confirm that?

too bad you can't build muscle without protein...

 

[x3mvess]

ok well i guess ill stick with around 140g per day. im 167lb so i should be fine. what should my calorie count be?

 

[mcnuggetman]

i pretty sure that if the only thing you eat was protein for X amount of time you could end up hurting your self because your body does need other things besides protiens -.-
