too much protien????????????

[tiger88]

what happens if my body consumes too much protein? i am around 235 and not on any steroids, and I eat around 300- 325 a day.......is this taking in too much protein?



what happens if you consume too much protein?

It will be easier to handle if you have it spaced out.

Hardcore types will tell you you aren't getting enough (2 x weight). So good luck on getting .... 470g a day of protein.

Your body can only digest so much at each meal. . (25-33 grams). . the rest is discharged as waste.

Elevate the metabolism by eating frequent meals. This will help open up protein windows.

Protein windows refers to absorption.

thanx guys



i think i heard somewhere on elite fitness that taking ginger root helps with the degestion of protein? is this true?

I'm sorry but that is not correct...

From Bryan Haycock:

Myth #2: You can only assimilate 30 grams of protein at one sitting.

Fact: The body has the ability to digest and assimilate much more than 30 grams of protein from a single meal.

Speaking of high intakes of protein, people have been perpetuating the myth that you can only assimilate ~30 grams of protein at a time, making protein meals any greater than a 6 oz. chicken breast a waste. This is anything but true. For example, the digestibility of meat (i.e. beef, poultry, pork and fish) is about 97% efficient. If you eat 25 grams of beef, you will absorb into the blood stream 97% of the protein in that piece of meat. If, on the other hand, you eat a 10 oz steak containing about 60 grams of protein, you will again digest and absorb 97% of the protein. If you could only assimilate 30 grams of protein at a time, why would researchers be using in excess of 40 grams of protein to stimulate muscle growth?1

Critics of high protein intakes may try to point out that increased protein intake only leads to increased protein oxidation. This is true, nevertheless, some researchers speculate that this increase in protein oxidation following high protein intakes may initiate something they call the "anabolic drive".13 The anabolic drive is characterized by hyperaminoacidemia, an increase in both protein synthesis and breakdown with an overall positive nitrogen balance. In animals, there is a correspondent increase in anabolic hormones such as IGF-1 and GH. Though this response is difficult to identify in humans, an increase in lean tissue accretion does occur with exaggerated protein intakes.14,15

The take home message is that, if you are going to maximize muscle growth you have to minimize muscle loss, and maximize protein synthesis. Research clearly shows this is accomplished with heavy training, adequate calories, and very importantly high protein consumption. This means that meals containing more than 30 grams of protein will be the norm. Not to worry, all that protein will certainly be used effectively by the body.

I totally disagree with that article.

There is a reason why we shit. . if we absorbed all nutrients there would be no need for us to shit.

Dude... the whole point is that when you're eating tons of protein and working out, yes you're shitting out more protein but you're also keeping a lot more of it. So you lose more but you gain that amount plus some, so that the overall balance it towards growth.

 

[tiger88]

hmmm......what side to choose?


does ginger root help the digestion process?

lol

Tiger, I would rather have too much than too little. I would say for natural you are taking in enough right now. But when you go on again, I'd bump it up.
