I keep eating too much protein, is this bad?

I wish I knew the answer to this myself. I always have several hundred calories left at the end of the day, and I'm frequently over in protein. A friend of mine who had weight loss surgery had told me her surgeon said 60 grams of protein a day is something good to aim for (for most people). I don't know how much they give you, but they give me 50 grams, and I'm usually over 4 or something so I'm not too worried.

Hi!

Too much of anything can be a bad thing but I'm sure I'd be preaching to the choir on that note. It is very unlikely that protein is the problem. More protein than necessary usually will make you need a haircut faster or you'll need to trim your nails. The biggest things to watch are the carbs and fats. For my diet plan I have usually finished the day under "budget" for all the areas leading to 3 pounds lost in three days. Your metabolism also has a lot to do with it. If you traditionally have a slower metabolism, you body will take longer to process what you take in. So, by no means starve yourself, but leave a sizeable amount of time between meals and/or snacks. That way you have a greater certainty that your body has processed your last food intake. I know this goes with out saying but stay active. Even if you can't workout, walk around at a leisurly pace, climb stairs at a faster rate. Its all about the small stuff that will, in time, add up to big results!!
