Could you tell me what happens if you eat too much protein?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Definition please.: If your liver and kidneys are healthy, even if you are a competitive weight lifter or div.1 football player (sec, more elite), you need only at max, 1 gram per pound of body weight. Any more than that is wasted!
