How much protein is too much?

Don't go by weight alone take measurements

Well they did ask o:)

Flavoured milk is usually high in refined added sugar, in addition to the lactose (sugar naturally found in milk)

My 2p worth Cutting out junk food is a great start, don't eat diet food as it usually has added refined sugar to replace the fat. Weigh and log everything you eat Try and exercise as much as you can

I hated it 10 years ago but taught myself to like it plain no hassle and super cheap

During the week Porridge with Skimmed milk and good coffee At the weekend, well this morning I had 2 97% meat sausages, 2 medium poached eggs, 3 rashers of smoked back bacon and half an avocado and good coffee

Thanks for the input good to know that it has worked for you

Yeah I am aware of that just wanted to canvass opinion on protein intake

Well I know my carb intake is what some would call moderate - I had been reading that if my protein was too high my body would get it's glucose from the protein as opposed to fat - gluconeogenesis - again I don't know how solid the science is behind that and as I am using this site for a diary and it has a community forum…

I no longer exercise as much as I used to due to injury and don't really get the chance to burn off the glucose

I have been and as usual opinion is divided and many trying to sell you their truth ;)

No particular reason just thinking refined sugars are best avoided, sitting at 17st 2lbs just now at 5ft 9in

I would consider fresh strawberries "real" strawberry jam "fake" Porridge Oats "real" Lucky Charms "fake"

The sugar is coming from skimmed mild with my porridge in the mornings, full fat greek yoghurt usually with strawberries or blueberries - I have taken around 9lbs in the first couple of weeks not noticed much change this week and it's scale day monday :)
