How much Protein is too much?
In the first 12 days I lost 15 pounds. Then I stopped losing. As I moved into Phase 3, I added yogurt to my shakes and cream Soups with unflavored Protein powder or chicken Soup flavored powder. But after a week of losing nothing, I gave up the cream soups. I kept the yogurt because it had no fat, 7g of carbs and 18g of protein. I was having trouble getting my protein in and that allowed me to double it in one meal. However, as I was still having trouble getting all my Proteins in, I have now added a protein bullet which has 42 grams of protein and only takes me about 15 or 20 minutes to complete.
My nut says I need 70 to 90 grams of protein. Today, including all my vitamens, my yogurt shake, my protein bullet, chicken soup protein, and a laughing cow light wedge and 1/4 tsp of Peanut Butter, I'm getting 7 grams of fat, 41 grams of carbs, and 113 grams of protein. All together, it is less than 750 calories. Same yesterday.
Is it possible to have too much protein? The nut said going over my amount was okay, but I don't know about this much protein.
