Dude 50g of protein is the way to go.

[DevilMayAsian]

I just got back from the MD's office, and he said "DO NOT listen to the mag articles you read, even the personal trainers, or the nutritionists." Plus he was explaining to me that taking more than 50g of protein can have some serious affects to my health, like internal bleeding, and hardened arteries. Dude, it's making me freak out right now, I just cut back my intake from 205g to just 50g.

[Flex_Kavana]

HAHAHA I love stupid posts.. They make me laugh.

[Everybody_Poops]

Did he just tell you the possible effects or tell you how it happens? If he just told you what could happen without any science behind it, that's just medical grade broscience.

[Immichaelski]

Too much of anything isnt good for you. Im sure we will all ahve some sort of problems from too much protein, but its better than fat.

[Cobra008]

50mgs of protein isn't going to hurt you...

I would recommend 25-35 mgs of protein 5-6 times a day spaced out evenly.

When you think about it 50g protein is actually hard to achieve for most people. I get that easily in a couple meals. One meal if I do it right. One can of tuna over some rice is pretty much 50g protein. With a glass of milk... Wow...

Never thought of it that way. The american diet is very high on processed fats.

Dude, how is this a stupid post?

Anyways I'll never disrespect my M.D., he knows what he is talkig about, he just told me the possible side effects.

So he didn't tell you how it any of that stuff actually happens, or why it happens...

Without even trying my diet goes well over 50g's of protein. I take in probably 35-40gs in shakes... That doesn't include the milk in the shake.

[Jumb]

you do realize that one chicken breast can have over 70g of protein in it right...? Either you misunderstood your doc, or he didn't graduate from a very good Med school...

That's a pretty stupid and arbritary number to settle on. What exactly are you basing that reccomendation on?

One's protein intake is determined by their weight, level of activity, personal recuperation requirements, daily calorie need etc.

Do you know this guy or something?

No, he doesn't know me at all, and I don't know who he is. I just started working out a couple months ago, he might go to my gym though.

I'm pretty sure he meant, mcg.

Large amounts of protein that comes from animal byproducts can cause a raise in chlorsterol, and that can lead to hardening of the arteries. There are other protein sources other than animal byproducts however.

Are you sure your doctor meant 50g daily and not at once? The body can only process so much protein at one time and many of the shakes out there have much more protein than the body can deal with at once.

ya this you can supposedly take up to 60g at once

[Everybody_Poops]

But say it's something of a blend, or a lot of casein you could probably take more.

[GatorRon24]

You would have to try very hard to limit your protein intake to 50 grams a day.

BTW... your Dr is an idiot.

Protein raise cholesterol?

Doctors usually don't recommend animal byproducts because it is full of fat. Saturated and trans fat does what you stated above. I never heard protein can cause heart problems.

Where you getting your information from?

Example:



Which will cause adverse effects in the future? the white(fat) or red meat (protein)?

I have to think his Doc was talking about 50g of protein from shakes at once. And even then, I think other Docs would disagree with him, especially the ones I've seen here and there on this very forum. I only do two scoops for PostWO myself, I think more will at least lead to less of it being used and therefore:

Really bro? Because other M.D. also claim that protein makes a person fat which is also stupid. *facepalm*

[Problem]

Bottom line is, if you DO NOT exercise and take alot of protein, then alot of it is going to waste, and you're putting pressure on your kidneys.

If you exercise, it is a WHOLE different story, cause the protein is getting used by your muscle cells as well for tissue repair and growth.

do you mean too much protein not jsut protein in general right?

[Infamousasian]

Just protein in general, if he said too much protein then that M.D. would look less stupid

Remember guise, amino acid carbon skeletons are our friends.

[olazabal]

It'd be hard for me to not eat more than 50g of protein a day. Just with my pwo shake and meal I get around 70
