How much protein is too much?
I just found this online, for those who are curious (from a fitness website)
"The average person needs about .4 grams of protein per pound of body weight. Active individuals may require .6 grams. People that exercise frequently and at a high intensity – like myself – require about a gram per pound of body weight. Bodybuilders and athletes may require even more."
So in fact, me getting 120g protein a day at my weight and activity level is not "too much" at least according to this source.
Good to know!
