“How much protein is too much?”
Ever wondered how much protein you need to maximize your muscle-building goals, or when you should eat it? The Macro Manger lays down the law.
Q. How much protein is too much? Is there such a thing, and can it hinder my muscle-building goals?
Great question! This one’s sure to rattle some cages and ruffle some feathers. Put simply, yes: There is such a thing as too much protein, and overeating it can hurt your muscle-building goals.
Traditional bodybuilding dogma has always held that more protein is better. While this is true to a point, it can sometimes be more beneficial to decrease your protein intake and get those nutrients from other sources.
