Protein Question

kma1005

Can you eat too much protein? I'm always over my daily allowable intake for protein according to MyFitnessPal, but my fitness plan (P90x) requires a lot of protein and less carbs because I'm in the fat burning stage. I was just wondering if too much protein can be bad?

I did P90X too and followed the fat shredder plan. I think it's GREAT for the first 4 weeks then you transition to a more regular 40/40/20 plan. I think people eat way too little protein. I stick to 40/40/20 a year into P90X and have not had ANY problem maintaining my goal weight.
