What happens if you eat too much protein? Is there such a thing? Could this have caused my 1lb gain?!

    "Adding more protein but not more calories or exercise to your diet won't help you build more muscle mass, but it may put your other bodily systems under stress.

    Eating more protein and increasing total caloric intake while maintaining the same exercise level will build an equal amount of additional fat and muscle mass, according to a study published in 1992 in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society."

    Interesting, thanks for the source. I don't eat more protein on purpose but I like protein bars and shakes because they're quick and fill me up
