The last few days I've experimented with upping my protein intake to 1/3 of my calories, which has put me at around 150-160 g protein. This is a jump from the 120 or so, I've been consistently getting lately. This evening I had the foamiest urine I've ever put out. I mean, it's not unusual for me to have a little foam in my urine, which I believe Peat has said can be attributed to GI distress--of which I am well acquainted-- however this tonight has been major foamage. My stomach though has been feeling better the last few days than it has in quite some time; so I'm guessing the cause of this major foam is protein in my urine.
Should I abandon the extra protein or if I were to persist is there reason to believe/hope my body would adjust? I know Peat recommends that people with compromised metabolisms and such keep protein between 80-100g, but it seems I was doing better when I increased protein beyond that. Perhaps I've gone too far and need to reduce back down to the 120g?
