How can our bodies handle all the protein eaten throughout the day ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Proteins are digeste: Body is capable of breaking proteins into Amino Acids which are used in the body for repairing the normal wear and tear. The extra Amino Acids are converted into urea and excreted via the urine. So there is no problem in disposing the proteins!
