how much is too much?

[KEL]

I read the Maximizing anabolism through protein manipulation... thread. How much protein can the body use before it becomes waste? What is the point where it is only extra calories nothing beneficial?

no one really knows the answer to that...too many factors influence it.

genetics, your bodyweight, anount of LBM, how intense you train, are you on drugs, etc etc.

i routinely have 80gm shakes 2-3 times a day....id rather waste "some" then not take in enough.

Is there a point at which it can become harmful, though? I mean, lead to kidney stones or something like that? One of my friends was dissing my diet the other day and said something about this. I had no real answer.

I just did some quick web searching & everything that came up had to do with already diseased kidneys. Not so helpful.
