A bit TMI

Personal trainer gave me some info on upping my protein, good sources, bad sources etc. So this week am making a concerted effort to up my protein so Im doing about 40/30/30 though Im not being strict. Today I am closer to 35/35/30

Is it normal when you up your protein to 'go' more often. I seem to have visited the loo a fair few times yesterday and today, both ends. I'm not sure if its just the change in diet or what as I feel well in myself

Sorry :)

  • most people experience it the other way around and do not go as often. If I take in a ton of protein I usually have to supplement with fiber to keep things moving.

    That sounds more like food poisoning than an issue with more protein. I'm on a 35/35/30 diet too and I don't have that problem. If it continues, try switching up the sources of your protein. Maybe you are having a bad reaction to something you're eating.
