A member asked:
For an average, active 5"3" 125lbs woman, is 78 grams of protein in a day too much?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
While probably: not harmful, it would be approx. 25% of your caloric intake, which would be mildly to moderately high. Make sure to drink large amounts of water to prevent kidney damage.
