Advice on Whey Protein

*kitten*, I’ve been eating 200-250g a day for almost a year! Wonder when my bones are going to shatter doing deadlifts?

this is from your link...2 grams per kilogram is a heck of a lot more than 100 g per day (for most people!)

People who exercise primarily with weights or body weight for more than one hour most days of the week may need up to 1.2 to 1.7 grams per kilogram of body weight.

Consuming more than 2 grams per kilogram of body weight each day is considered excessive.

There are multiple factual errors in that article, the most glaring one being excess protein stored as fat. It is actually unlikely the body will store protein as fat. It is an physiologically expensive process.

Eric Helms info above is great. And there is always PubMed. I'd suggest both those sources over a generic "health" page like Healthline.

I would observe though, that if you'd like people to support you with answers, don't keep asking the same questions over again that have been answered and don't argue with the answers given. For me, I react to that by no having any desire to help and kind of feeling like, "Ok, genius, you have all the answers and are wasting my time. Do it your way." You have asked for help, gotten answers from knowledgeable people and then either asked again or challenged the answers. Not an effective strategy.

Edited to add: An article with study citations that explains why we will hardly ever store protein as fat. https://nutridylan.com/2013/06/07/can-excess-protein-be-stored-as-body-fat/

The department of health suggests 100g of protein a day max as can cause osteoporosis.

If you want to build muscle, I don't think 100 g of protein a day is enough for that....
