Hi ,
I have been adviced to take good amount of protein because I just joined GYM , I am taking red meat, chicken as my main source of protein and now taking them from a month . Now I want to know whether I am taking too much or crossing limits ? I don't want to take more than required protein?
I know one should take around of 1gm of protein per KG of weight but how to make sure I am not crossing limit ?
Excess of protein may harm your body, if you are taking excess of protein then your kidney need to work hard to get rid of excess of protein so it will affect your kidney, your liver may also get bloated and you may feel dizzyness in long term. You will also get fat as excess protein may get converted in fats / carb
Also , high protein intakes may lead to loss of calcium, leading in turn to the development of osteoporosis.
