Diet Questions - Is Eating Too Much Protein Bad For You?

Diet Question:
Is too much protein bad for you? I get about 190 grams of protein a day. Is that too much protein? My weight is 183 pounds.

Diet Answer:
For optimal muscle growth, I recommend eating at least 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. This amount of protein will keep your nitrogen levels high and prime your body to fully recover from workouts and assist in muscle growth. So, your current protein intake of 190 grams per day at 183 lbs of body weight is completely fine and should assist you well in your fitness plan.
