too much protien?

[juniorlee]

Is there a point where you can be ingesting too much protien? I get about 200 from my diet and at least another 100+ from supps.

I wonder that myself, during past blood tests my BUN level is very high, but my doc doesn't seem concerned.

a good rule of thumb is 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per lb of bodyweight..

Too much protein can apparently effect kidney function.
The build up of excess urea can leave a feeling of fatigue and other symptoms such as headaches loss of appetite.
