Can one take in too much protein?

CCS
The typical American diet, as we said earlier, is already providing plenty of protein. There is no value in adding even more protein to that amount, since protein cannot be stored in the body and the excess is eliminated in urine and feces.

When people start consuming too much protein (over 2.0 g/kg/d), the extra protein can become a stressful stimulus for the kidney. This is even more of a concern as we get older and our organs are less efficient and effective.

Very high levels of dietary protein have also been correlated with increased urinary calcium excretion. The loss of calcium through urine could potentially be harmful for bone turnover, with the added risk of osteoporosis. Finally, protein requires vitamin B6 in order to be metabolized and ultimately utilized in the body. Very high levels of dietary protein increase the requirement for this B vitamin.

What this means for you is no more than about 130g/ day...

How should I know? Ask a nutritionist if you are that concerned.

The last high protein diet I was on said 1 gram per lb of body weight per day.

Unless it is affecting your kidneys, for example, there is no "too much." Your body will just get rid of anything it can't use. But if you are on an extreme high-protein diet, you should ask you doctor for a simple, cheap blood test to check your kidneys. Most likely, he will tell you there is no problem, but do it just in case.

Good luck!!

I'm not sure how active you are but I thought I heard you should have at least 1 gram of protein for every 1 pound of body weight when you're active. Make sure you're getting a good amount of water when you're taking in alot of protein because it can harm your kidneys.

over 200 grams for u.
