too much protien

misean45

Does it matter if i eat more protein then i am allowed for a day? When i say more i mean like 5 to 20 grams over.

I've read that we actually need 1 g of protein per lb we weigh. Example, I'm 145 with 22 Percent body fat. So I take 32 (22x145) from 145 and get 113. I Believe that is the amount of grams I'm supposed to eat . 113 x4 is 452 calories per day of protein. There is 4 calories in a gram of protein. If you are crazy active you 're supposed to have 1.2 grams per lb. So , are you truly eating too much protein???

I almost always go over on my protein, but I guess of all the things I could go over on, protein would be the least of all evils???

I deliberately go over the set goal and still probably don't get enough.

I thought it was 4 cals per gram of carb and 6 to 7 per gram of protein

My sister in law who works at a hospital had about 85 lbs to lose and they put her on 1200 cal. a day and 80 grams of protein . They said the protein helps get rid of the fat!!
