Hi Joe. Thanks for your comments. This is quite a controversial issue – some people swear by meat whilst others share the same views as yourself. I personally eat meat but haven’t looked into this topic in depth so I will try to do a post on this topic somewhere down the line.

most of this relates to meat. meat is really bad for you and our entestines are not designed for it (compare them to carnivorous and then to herbivorous) I’m sure you can consume big amounts of protein if you are bodubuilding and could increase the limit if you don’t consume meat. too much of anything is still bad though.

Thanks for the information Craig. I have heard figures similar to this before. However, I think it does vary from person to person. For example, if I am following a very low carbohydrate diet I may need more protein than this to compensate for the reduction in carbohydrate calories.

Hello All!

I undertook research into protein intake requirements for active individuals, where I compared recommendations from 17 reputable sources from around the world.

My conclusion: males require 1.4 g of protein per kilogram of bodyweight, while females require 1.2 g.

Hi Dana. I don’t think this is too much protein too have in 1 sitting. In terms of calories from protein it’s only 232 which doesn’t seem like an overdose. However, I suppose everyone reacts differently to foods so if it continues to make you queasy you should probably stop eating it. The feelings you are experiencing may not be directly linked to the protein in these foods. It could be a reaction to the actual foods themselves. Hope this helps.

I just made a shake with I scoop of protein powder, I container of Greek yogurt, a banana, and a heaping tbsp of peanut butter. Water and ice cubes. I think it comes out to 58 grams of protein. I drank it all in one sitting….. Is this way too much protein for a female 124 lbs.??? I’m asking because I felt really queasy and still hungry afterwards.

I may be disinformed or too confident about my own results

Years before I allways tried to build muscle without the need of getting fat, when so many people suggest me to eat everything I can, a few recomend me to increase my vegetal protein intake in order to build muscle, I wasn’t so sure at the beginning but after hearing 3 different doctors working for more than 20 years in nutrition I understood the value of this nutrient.

Even when vegetal protein doesnt have the same quality as animal, taking soy protein will enhance any performance you do by giving enough resources to your muscles tu build after you workout. Even in you dont work out, your muscles will be ready to any exercise you need to do.

We have to remember that our body works entirely with protein, hair, nails, skin, muscles and many other process that works inside our body needs protein!

Hey Andre – Thanks for your comments. Not sure I agree with you though. I think taking too much of any protein (animal, vegetable, complete, incomplete) can lead to negative side effects.

YOU FORGOT THE FIRST NAME OF THE PROTEIN. THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF PROTEIN, MY FRIENDS:

VEGETAL PROTEIN
ANIMAL PROTEIN

ANIMAL PROTEIN MAKES YOUR KIDNEYS TO WORK TOO MUCH AND CREATE DISEASES, IN CHANGE, VEGETAL PROTEIN DOESN’T CREATE THE PROBLEMS YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT.

REMEMBER, PROTEIN IS THE MAIN NUTRIENT SO YOUR BODY NEEDS TO ANY MOLECULAR PROCESS!! YOU NEED 3.4G PER POUND PER WEIGHT! THE ONLY WAY TO CONSUME THIS AMOUNT IS BY EATING MORE VEGETAL PROTEIN. THATS WHY I LOVE HERBALIFE, IT MADE MY EATING HABITS EASIER AND HEALTHIER!

Hey Fisher. Thanks for the comment. Yes when researching this article I found that protein itself does not have any side effects. You need some protein to support proper cell maintenance. However, if you go overboard and consume too much protein you may experience some of the side effects listed in this article.
