Too much protein??
I read an article that said...
"Can you eat too much protein? This group also found that protein intakes above 2.62 grams per kg of bodyweight (214 grams for a 180lb male) provided no additional benefit in terms of nitrogen balance and increased the risk of renal overload and dehydration. Long term studies of large groups show that a high protein/low carbohydrate diet increases the risk of kidney stones and bone loss. These findings were substantiated by a University of Texas study of 10 volunteers on a high protein/low carbohydrte diet for two weeks. Blood uric acid levels (uric acid is a major cause of kidney stones) rose 90% and urinary levels of citrate (which inhibits kidney stone formation) dropped 25%. And finally, any extra protein Calories (beyond what you are expending per day) are stored as fat, not muscle."
I always hear of people eating AS MUCH protein as they can. This article seems like that isn't a good thing. So what is true? Should you eat tons and tons of protein until you can't flush the toilet? orrrr, keep protein at a low but normal level. A few chicken breasts a day, tuna fish, egg whites and a shake here and there?

Its even possible to drink to much water, no joke. I dont think you will have problems with protein tho bro (unless you go out of your way to hurt yourself).

Okay, I read the article. It states that a 180lb man should ingest no more than 214 grams of protien. Sure. If you are off cycle that may suffice. That article is also geared towards biking in general. Bikers would have to take in quite a few carbs in thier calorie intake to be able to go the distance while biking. Not quite the case for a body builder.
Most AAS increases protien synthesis which would allow taking in twice your bodyweight in grams of protien.
Im not saying that everyone on this board is on AAS.
Powerliftmike is right though, there are dangers to taking in too much of anything, water ect.
