Protien - is it ever too much????

Hi All, I have a question,,,,,,,,,,,How do you know when it is considered too much protien? I am supposed to have between 69 & 71 grams of protien a day. Most of the time I go over that - between the protien shakes & the actual protien........well, I just would like to know what (if any) would be the side effects (good or bad) of too much protien. Thanks for your help! Love, Evelyn In California 324/265/180??(or less)

As I understand it, you cannot consume to much protein. Your body will use only what it needs and the rest will be "tossed". Right now I am suppose to get about 83 g of protein daily, some days I have gone over. If you do not get enough you will see the side effects, such as hair loss, bone degeneration and so forth. Good luck.

Thanks so much for the info.......good luck to you in your journey as well. Evelyn In California 324/265/180????

Protein is never too much. I understand that the more protein you eat the more weight you will lose. Debra French RNY-June 2nd 315/245/-70pounds Kentucky

I WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD STAY UNDER 100 GRAMS OF PROTEIN A DAY. IF YOU ARE EATING ENOUGH SOLIDS TRY DECREASING THE SHAKES, WE WERE TOLD TO USE SHAKES AS A LAST RESORT AND GET OUR PROTEIN FROM REAL FOOD. HOPE THIS HELPS.
