how much protein is too much protein?
i’m recovering from anorexia and trying to get really fit and toned. i’ve been eating mostly fruit and veggies and protein. i’m pescatarian (dont eat red meat or poultry but eat fish) so it can be a bit harder to get protein… anyway, take for example yesterday: i ate 1 tablespoon hemp hearts in the morning, my lunch (a salad) contained peanuts, chickpeas, tuna and cheese, my afternoon snack was a few crackers with bean dip, my dinner was vegetarian tacos with meat alternative and beans, and my evening snack was a banana with peanut butter. all the beans were the type with lots of protein, like kidney beans and lentils and stuff… will eating this much protein make me gain weight or is it just healthy? i really have no idea. thanks!

Our protein needs depend on our age, size, and activity level. The standard method used by nutritionists to estimate our minimum daily protein requirement is to multiply the body weight in kilograms by .8, or weight in pounds by .37. This is the number of grams of protein that should be the daily minimum. According to this method, a person weighing 150 lbs. should eat 55 grams of protein per day, a 200-pound person should get 74 grams, and a 250-pound person, 92 grams.
any protein your body doesnt burn will turn to sugar and yes you will gain weight i would nt go over 60 grams of protein a day.
