In today’s world protein is talked about a lot the topic “are you getting enough” ads says contains so much protein. Can you get to much protein the answer is “YES” you can get to much and it does have side effects. Over 100g daily is too much protein could lead to kidney, digestive system, blood vessel, weight gain, heart disease and risk of cancer. Average consumption is 10% to 30% daily calorie intake you need .8g per kg of body weight. As we age over 40 we need 1g to 1.5g more daily active people need 1g to 1.7g daily. So a 2000 cal daily in take would be 200 to 700 calories from protein.
You can get protein from vegetables, soy,nuts,seeds,beans, lean red meat, skinless chicken and eggs. I am vegan so I get mine from vegetables,fruit, soy,nuts, seeds and beans. Eating a balanced diet of protein is essential for got health. Size of your meal is a good way to not over eat on plate full and don’t go back for seconds.
