I get that too many carbs are not good, and surprisingly enough (b/c I LOVE carbs!) I have been 'in the green' for the last couple of days. On the other hand, I have been going over my alotted protein. I know that we should be balancing them, but what are the pitfalls of too much protein?

    Too much protein can tax your kidneys. If you have normal kidney function, there is no harm in excess protein.

    So are there any benefits to more protein?
