has anyone ever heard of this??? (this is a serious question)

[depo12]

someone told me that if, when you pee, it's bubbly and then it kind of fizzles out and there's like white specs floating, it means that you have too much protein (could mean liver isn't working right)....has anyone ever heard of this or know anything about it?

i think it happened to me...i have about 3-4 scoops of whey per day and a total of about 200-220 g of protein...i'm 5'10" 160 lbs...is that too much protein?

[boosteddatsun]

Definitely not too much protein (1.25g / lb). Why are you asking the nutrition section this?

And being totally serious here, you know that if you're not getting any of some form that you'll piss out your semen right? "Too much protein" indeed!

It sounds like you are not drinking enough water.

When you piss chicken breasts, then you're getting too much protein. Seriously, I think you should direct your question to your doctor.

This has happened to me. I'd suspect it's a combination of too much of SOMETHING (maybe protein) and not enough water. If it happens on a regular basis, you really ought to get some urine tests done, and blood too, while you're at it.

[OneBetter]

no, not too much protein.

there's a lot of things you can piss out. is it consistently like that or just sometimes? and by white specs do you mean your peeing out solids?

[ItTakesTime]

If you are peeing out solids that is not good. As far as the fizzing out and such that is ok.

Proteinuria

"The large amounts of protein in their urine may cause abnormal amounts of bubbles to be present in the toilet after they urinate."

"Proteinuria may be the first sign of renal disease and control of proteinuria has been shown to help maintain kidney function. Individuals who develop the symptoms of proteinuria or who are told that they have abnormal amounts of protein in their urine on screening tests should have their kidney function evaluated by their physician."

http://www.hmc.psu.edu/childrens/hea...roteinuria.htm


"Patients with less than 1-2 grams of proteinuria usually have tubulointerstitial disease, nephrosclerosis, polycystic kidney disease, orthostatic proteinuria, or benign glomerular disease such as IgA nephritis. Proteinuria of greater than 3.5 g per day is due to glomerular diseases"

What supplements are you taking?

i'm only taking ON 100% whey and cytodrene 500 fat burner

Did you know if you google "cytodrene 500" your bodyspace comes up as the 4th link listed? That's pretty interesting.

It's also pretty interesting that the cytodrene.com website is "closed", and that it's not sold on bodybuilding.com. Maybe you should consider laying off of that stuff for a while and seeing if your piss returns to normal. Maybe there's a reason it's not being sold any more.


If it was me, I'd start taking cranberry juice (100% juice) a few times a day for kidney support. Seeing a doctor would, obviously, be a good idea too. Also, don't take advice from quacks like me on the internet.


No creatine?

lol yeah, thanks for that advice (kind of an oxymoron)....well, umm about it being like nonexistent, i know it's weird...i got it at GNC though...but i only have a few days left and then i'm taking 2 weeks off...after that i'm getting syntrax fyre and guggulbolic....

about the creatine...no, i used to take it before i worked out, but i honestly felt like i got a better workout when i wasn't using it...plus i'm cutting right now, and i'm not sure if creatine helps/hurts that...oh yeah, and i have BY FAR THE WORST tasting creatine on the planet (Kreation - idk if anyone else has it but if so the orange flavor is absolutely horrific)

[KryptoKnight]

Creatine will only help you on a cut.

Creatine will only help you on a cut.

oh ok ...gotcha..thanks...I'm still concerned about the protein thing though...I'll have to do some research =/


I have a 2000 cal a day diet...so a 40/40/20 ratio gives me 200g of protein per day...is that too much for me ??? my friend is taking exercise science and says that it's def too much..he recommends 130 g (1.8g per kg body weight)...i'm confused..should i go to 30/50/20 ratio? but then wouldn't i gain fat back wouldn't with the increase carbs?

Yeah, I was growing feathers for a while so I thought I better lay off.

[depo12]

it would be helpful if you would just answer the question i just asked, rather then not helping me whatsoever..


someone told me you can buy a test at GNC to see if there is protein in urine....anyone know if this is true??
