As long as your total calorie intake isn't in excess it wont make a difference. Don't be taking in large sources of protein powders to get there though, as there is a correlation between kidney damage and excessive protein supplementation.0

I never worry about too much protein, because when I'm not dieting I never eat enough. It helps me recover from my exercise too. :bigsmile:
Also, just how much are you considering too much? I include protein with every meal and after workout snack. The day after a particularly intense workout, if my muscles are sore and I feel really tired, a little more protein makes me feel great. I don't track it on MFP, I track fiber intake instead.0 -
