Athlete Protein intake ranges from 1.2-1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight.
Studies show weight lifters might need .72g/lb. of bodyweight, highly trained cyclists might need .8g/lb., rigorous exercise training might require 1.3g/lb., and world-class weight lifters may use upwards of 1.6g/lb.

Well I know I am doing fine with my protein intake at being 180-200 and I keep getting great gains so I don't give a crap what science says as long as it works for me.

A very probable effect of excessive protein intake is the onset of bone demineralization (osteoporosis), Dehydration, kidney dysfunction etc.

Lets also not forget that thousands of people die every day because they are going against science and experimenting with what science has proved dangerous.

if you had that properly configured in the first place, replace the protein calories with carbohydrate calories.

There has not been any evidence showing a constant, linear increase in muscle mass or performance when consuming high-protein diets as opposed to using the RDA athlete protein requirements (1.2-1.6 grams per kg of bodyweight) .

I guess if you actually read the whole thread you would have seen that I already posted my body weight above. I also don't believe that I should be lowering my protein intake. I have come to trust w8 and DP's suggestions since I have joined IM and if my intake was too high I think they would have said something by now. Thanks anyway.

However that is not to say that excessive protein intake does not cause kidney damage in those who have healthy kidneys.
