Eat the protein: The protein is not going to hurt you. If anything it will help. Do not take anything to stop your growth. The height is genetic and should not tamper with this.

Question 3

are veggie sausages containing soya protein isolate n soya protein bad to eat say if u had 4 would that be too much soya. also chocolate in one day?

Accepted Answer

A few thoughts: First, everything in moderation. Soy/textured vegetable protein (TVP) is a good product with a lot of protein/low cost. But TVP is highly manufactured and subjected to high heat etc in processing. TVP causes GI side effects in some people and is reported to mimic estrogen effects in women. Most also contains MSG. Can not really call it a health food..OK in moderation/2-3 servings per day.

Question 4

how much protein is there in one egg n one banana??? what is the best n high source of protein? ?

Accepted Answer

Protein: There's about 6 grams of protein in one large egg and about 1.3 grams of protein in one medium banana. Do yourself a favor and eat them both!!

Question 5

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 6

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 7

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 8

Question 9

what foods have the most protein?

Accepted Answer

Question 10

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.
