Reply With QuoteYour bod can only assimilate so much protein at one time...I dont know the exact facts and figures but I seem to recall hearing/reading that you can basically only handle about 50 grams at a time and that anything more is giong to pooped out. Im sure someone with more scientific info will chime in shortly, this is just something Ive always heard but didnt know how factual it may be.

Is there such a thing as Too Much Protein?
Let's assume on an average weight (185lb) average height (5"8") male that is seeking to stay in shape and gain mass without gaining fat, you should have a protein intake of 1 gram per pound of bodyweight.
Now to get that amount of protein per day, you have to take in several powdered protein shakes, because with normal eating (1lb of grilled chicken, Tuna, oatmeal, fruits, etc.) you don't make it to 185 grams.
So, you supplement with double portions on ON 100% Whey @ 23gr X 2 = 46, twice a day to get a total of 92 grams extra. Or even 3 double portions to give you 138 grams extra.
What happens to all of this protein? Does your body digest and use it? Does your body eliminate it? Will any excess turn to fat?
In general, what happens if you intake too much protein?

the majority of excess protein is excreted in the urine.

there is no maximum amount of protein that can be digested by the body. the body will digest whatever is the the GIT. how much of that protein is ''utilized" depends on many factors.
for example the body of a 250 lb body builder with 8% bf requires more protein and can utilize more protein per serving than that of a 250 lb man with 25% bf.I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

1. No, thats really not hard to reach considering 1 chicken breat has 50g of protein and a can of tuna has 40. I had to get some protein out of my diet bc i had too much from food like eggs, CC, PB, oats, etc. Originally Posted by jh225
