Taking too much 100% Whey Protein?

[Maarz]

I bought myself 1lb of 100% Whey Protein (orange). I consume three meals a day and with all three meals I drink one scoop of 100% Whey Protein with them. This is a everyday thing for me. Am I consuming too much 100% Whey Protein?

Depends, you should get most protein from real food. I suggest having it with your breakfast and post & pre(optional) workout.

Depends on how much protein you're getting from your other food sources of course. But it's very unlikely. 3 scoops is about 75 grams protein. Not much. Whatever your weight in lbs is, that is normal protein intake in grams for someone who exercises.

In my opinion, Yes, you should get most protein from real food. I suggest having it with your breakfast and post & pre(optional) workout.

Whey IS food.

It's milk plasma.

I know, I was talking about food that you chew, like meat & beans

You can freeze your protein shake and eat it like ice cream.

Just get as much protein as you can from your meals and make up for the deficiency in protein with your whey.

When you say "cheese" we don't know how much of it you ate...
But from the little info you gave us you're actually most likely undereating protein:
egg 6 grams protein
slice of bread 5 g protein
1 slice cheese 7 g protein
single breast 25 g p
1 cup cooked rice 4 g p
double full breast 50 g p
+
75 g from your 3 whey scoops
= around 175 grams protein? That's not even 1g/lb

I went more detailed.

You know what the issue is? "Slice" can be 0.5 oz or 3 oz depending on size and thickness. Scoop also is not clear. How big is the scoop? To really get an idea of how much you're eating provide caloric info or at least the weight, things like that. Or another example: chicken breast can vary from 100 calories to 500 depending on the size of the breast, that is a difference between 20 and 65+ grams protein... Big difference... etc.

Forget it. Thanks anyway.
