too much protein?

[AandF6969]

is this possible? i work out 5-6 days a week and eat pretty healthly. my carbs a bit low atm but besides that i think im doing pretty well. egg whites, veggies, chicken, oatmeal, cottage cheese, shakes, etc. anyways i was reading and some doctors say that 200 grams is too much for a 200lb guy. please tell me im losing my mind on this one.

Personally I like to keep it 1.25-1.5g/lb. I think 2 is a bit overkill but some people do it. I wouldn't go below 1.25 by any means though, unless dieting for a show or something.

Finally someone that thinks as me on this. I always see that people use a ridicolous amount of protein even if they don't need it. I see guys that weigh 180lbs and eat 400+ grams of proteins per day. I understand that proteins build muscle, but every excess in the macros is not a good deal. Plus I calculate my prots need on a lean body mass basis. Usually I do LBS (pounds) X 1.8. That's an Author Rea theory too.
