Am I eating too much protein?

Agree with Charlotte, if you have healthy kidneys then there is no issue eating more protein than you need.

It will just end up being converted into amino acid and used for various things in the body such as glycogen for immediate fuel or stored in the liver and muscles or converted to body fat (that's a simple answer - however the body does more with the amino acids than just that).

...because this discussion is relevant to my interests...



...and because I am fascinated by some of the claims people make.

Once again, science flies right over his head.

Haha. Learn more.

I'll say the same to you haha

I built 0 muscle while I was cutting. Started to build when I took on a calorie surplus

But you weren't eating a high fruit diet.

It doesn't matter what you are eating. If you eat less than your body is burning off, then you do not build muscle. Muscle building is not as important as your organs functioning.

Interesting reading on the subject if any lurkers are interested:
