Well … some people think the more protein you take the better. That’s not necessarily the case and it’s actually a fallacy. We need to take a certain amount of protein per body weight in order to get maximum gains. If an individual goes over that limit the excess protein goes through the urine (also called proteinuria) and thus reduces amino acid availability. It’s a paradox in the sense that you take more but actually get less for the purpose of body building. My sources for this are my nutritionist and a booklet I received from Universal when I used to use the Animal line of products (Animal Pak, Animal Nitro, Animal Stak, etc).

 

That and an excess amount is really bad on your kidneys.  Drink A LOT of water when taking a lot of protein.
