Is there such a thing as getting too much protein? I am over the daily goal almost every single day. Can't imagine it would hurt me, but you never know. Your thoughts, please.

    not unless your excessively over...i got kidney stones once in high school and the doctor told me it was because all i was drinking was protein shakes (it was a bad time in my life so i wasn't healthy anyways) but i think that as long as you have everything else in there you'll be fine :)

    My doctor recommends that I get between 60-80 grams a day. That's more than my MFP goals. Just make sure you're drinking plenty of water. You can always ask your doctor what your absolute max should be.

    Aubrey is spot-on! Each person's body makeup is going to be different than the next person. Discuss this with your doctor because he/she is the only person who knows about your current medical status and whether or not you need to adjust your protein-intake.
