Any potential problems from consuming too many grams of protein on a daily basis? I've been averaging over 200 grams a day. I am trying to eat a low fat diet (under 40 grams, sometimes under 30 grams), and if I want to eat around 3,000 calories with that low amount of fat I end up eating around 200 or more grams of protein a day (sometimes as high as 250). With mostly all other calories (around 500 grams) coming from mostly sugar an a little starch(fruit, OJ, milk, maple syrup/honey/sugar, white rice, coke), can this be problematic?
My sources of protein are mostly 1% cottage cheese (which I eat tons of, about 24-32 ounces a day), lean shellfish and fish, gelatin, 1% milk, sometimes low fat yogurt (I know not peat!!), daily egg, and occasionally beef or liver. I am an active male by the way, but not lifting at the moment (injured).
