The average Nigerian consumes about 100 grams of protein a day, which
is much higher than actually required by the body – 55-65 grams per
day if you weigh 150 lbs.
Could excess consumption of protein be deleterious to one’s health?

Proteins are the building blocks of our muscles. Having 10-15 grams of
protein per meal or snack can help maintain satiety. In recent years, protein
has emerged as the only nutrient people feel good about consuming. Fat has
been vilified for decades, and is high in calories, while carbs are considered
fattening as well.

The risks of excess protein intake can be divided into 2 areas: kidney
disease and cancer.

Protein metabolism requires work by the kidneys. Excess protein means a
strain on kidneys. For most people, this is not an issue; folks with kidney
disease need to reduce their protein intake. Another problem with too much
protein is calcium depletion which can lead to osteoperosis and kidney stones.

Some studies have shown that a very high protein diet is correlated with an
increased risk of some types of cancer. However, a distinction needs to be
made between the sources of protein. Apparently, plant based proteins are
not harmful at all, while intake that is based mostly on meat and dairy
protein may be harmful.

New research presented this week at the European Congress on
Obesity points to a risk of weight gain and death when people with a
potential for heart disease consume a high protein diet.

If you are dieting, you may be confused right now. On the one hand protein
helps with satiety, yet on the other hand you should not eat too much.
The answer is to distribute your protein consumption evenly throughout the day.
Don’t wait till dinnertime for a huge steak with 50 grams of protein.
Have some protein as a part of every meal and snack.

Spread of ones protein intake is right but can only be for those who are sure of the next meal! Nice topic yet fp is for those whose kernel was cracked by the spirit
