Thread: #1 Over doing it?

Not so much with food...but if you take too much protein, I believe it will go to wast once you reached the max that your body can intake. I may be mistaken. Built, where are ya??

well I weight 229 this morning and ive been taking approximately 260 grams a day for the last 4 years in powder and everything else comes in food I eat alot of egg's meat,tuna but i work a 12 hour job so I sweat a whole lot so i no this is why i have a low b/f because of my highly active & physical job

260 grams in powder good lord. I would switch that up with some real food and less powder.

well that powder is on top of my food intake I have a very high metabolism and i work in a sweatshop its never below 80 degree's and working 12 hour days 6 days a week and a night job so i never get enough sleep i get bout 3-5 hours most nights so when i did quit taking the protein i felt a serious energy drop and drinking caffeine or soda is not for me i drink nothing but the shakes milk juices and water no liquor nothing

260 grams of protein in powder? Then how much protein are you taking in with real food? Sweet Geared Jesus... I get about 120grams from powder and that seems like a lot to me.

well with eatting food a total in about 400-500 a day but some days i just get the shakes so its not everyday but it say its at least 5-6 days a week tho

I started it when I first got into lifting at a gym I use to try to take double my body weight a day along with creatine when it first hit the seen I was buy it all directly from EAS science so I was buying in bulk and over the course of 2 years I went from 160 to 245 and was ripped runnin a 8% b/f and it was because at the time I was a nightclub bouncer and escort so appearance was everything but ive since quit creatine 3 years ago because I really slowed at the gym but I haven't been below 220 since and my b/f runs constant at about 11-14% (depends on the seasons) but I have serious shoulder problems so lifting is very painful so now im trying to find the right balance of whatever to get my shoulders to fluid up more or less so ive been looking in every direction to find help,advise anything I can

In terms of "Over doing it" there is a way. But going over your protein/carb/cal intake will not "hurt" you, it will more or less make you waste your money. Find what a good intake is for yourself, what you respond to the best, and stick with that. For me, I like about 300 grams of protein, and while I'm on cycle ill eat up as many cals past 4000 that I can possibly stomach... Id like to thank my genetics for an amazing metabolism

I'd say the 260g from powder is over doing it.

honestly it truly doesnt matter
the protein you buy in powder can be a higher quality protein then in most foods.

some guys get all there protein frm powder.
most split it up

andf to answer OPs question
depending on your goals you should know how much to eat.

You don't think too much powder can be harmful to your kidneys?

Yes you are correct, to much is a waste. The norm is 30g of protine per 3 hours can be processed by your body, BUT if you are enhanced by science its more like 50g. I go by what my belly can take without bloating me to hell but thats just me....
