Question 1

whats a complete protein?

Accepted Answer

All essential aminos: Some Amino Acids can't be made from others in your body, and a complete protein is one you can live on -- it has plenty of each of these. It's important for vegetarians to mix proteins to get enough of each amino acid; i respect vegetarianism if taken for moral reasons but it makes safe eating more complicated.

Question 2

is 9.4 reactive protein high?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I would consider it high, but it really depends on what your lab's reference range is. If your doctor says it's high, then ask how to get it down.

Question 3

how much protein is too much?

Accepted Answer

No consensus but...: It is probably more common for people to get too much protein rather than not enough, but there is no consensus as to what constitutes too much. 30-60 grams of protein is enough for most people but many americans get 100-160 grams a day. Too much protein increases risk of osteoporois and other problems- see http://www.Drmcdougall.Com/misc/2004nl/040100puproteinoverload.Htm.

Question 6

whats a good way to build protein?

Accepted Answer

To eat it: You don't build protein. It is being built in your body from its components - aminoacids. To help your body build more protein, you need to consume more of the build blocks - aminoacids that are found in animal and vegetable protein. So, in other words - eat more protein rich foods - meats, dairy, eggs, less so legumes.

Question 7

could protein powders really work?

Accepted Answer

They can...: But you must work out intensely, and you can use the protein powder to increase your protein up to 2g per 2.2 lbs of body weight! not for people with kidney disease or liver disease! more than the above mentioned protein intake provides no additional benefits!

Question 8

foods with high protein for athletes?
