I’m Going to Say This Once, and Then Drop it

I’m getting slammed pretty hard around the internet for “my protein formula”. Its not my protein formula. I’m not a moron that pulls numbers out of my ass and strings them together and then laughs myself to sleep because I tricked you guys. This equation was not mine: it’s in any text book you will find on the subject.

You need a certain amount of protein a day- if you eat more your body stores it. This extra is particularly rough on the kidneys, and protein from animal sources also leads to an increase in saturated fat intake. Plain and simple. My whole purpose was to let you know that “the more, the better” does not apply with protein, as it rarely applies with any food or nutrient.

I regurgitated information I found from a credible source- which makes it a fact. If you disagree with it-call the American Council on Exercise and let them know instead of calling me names. They have thicker skin than I do.
