over protein most days????

ninaellis

Help!!!!!!!!! is it a real problem if I go over protein when everything else is on or under where it should be???
It mainly comes from things like grilled chicken or fish, so not unhealthy things???

If you have to go over on anything, protein would be the best! Sounds like you're doing great!

Our body gets rid of (instead of storing) the extra protein, so no harm in going over.

Thank you so much!! Wasn't sure how I could get it down! I won't worry too much now!! xx

I am glad to hear that I am not the only one with this problem! I am always-every day-over on my protein! I eat healthy proteins like almonds, chicken and fish-the protein seems to keep me full longer. I try to eat the high protein diet to keep me from snacking. I was worried that this was counter productive!

I am having the exact same problem. I think it is because I eat allot of fish. Packed with protein, but low in calories, fat and carbs.

That's funny you posted that though, I was coming on the start a discussion to see if I was the only one.

My other issue is getting in all my water, but thats a different topic...

I carry around a water botle where ever I go. I can't just 'down' a glass of water but I take a couple of mouthfuls from the bottle frequently & I've found I'm easily getting through 2 1/2 litres a day. HTH xx

If I flavor my water it seems like I drink a lot more!! I love the Crystal Light to go packets! They have several flavors and if I drink 4 water bottles of it a day thats only 40 calories and I think the benifits of the water out weighs the calories!
