Hey everyone-
I know there is always some confusion when it comes to protein and losing weight- do you want a high protein diet or not? How much is too much? Is there such thing as too much protein? Well, this article from Men's Health should help clarify some things.
Here is an exerpt from it:
"Your body can process only so much protein in a single sitting. A recent study from the University of Texas found that consuming 90 grams of protein at one meal provides the same benefit as eating 30 grams. It's like a gas tank, says study author Douglas Paddon-Jones, Ph.D.: "There's only so much you can put in to maximize performance; the rest is spillover."
Eating protein at all three meals-plus snacking two or three times a day on proteins such as cheese, jerky, and milk-will help you eat less overall. People who start the day with a protein-rich breakfast consume 200 fewer calories a day than those who chow down on a carb-heavy breakfast, like a jam-smeared bagel. Ending the day with a steak dinner doesn't have the same appetite-quenching effect, Layman says."
