As little of two ounces (60 grams) of a protein-rich food is enough for
most of us.

Maybe so for people who are not physically active, or trying to build muscle.

If you're eating more protein than your body needs to repair tissue, it's
burned as a fuel. Unfortunately, protein is both an inefficient fuel and a dirty fuel. It's inefficient because you have to expend more energy to take protein molecules apart than to break down carbohydrates and fats, because they're
more complicated in structure.

I sorry, but how is having the body work harder (burning calories) to digest protein a bad thing?
It’s unfortunate that there is so much misinformation floating around. Is it any wonder why nutrition, dieting, and exercise can be so confusing to the masses. Lucky for us, we have boards, such as this one, to present such information and maybe get a consensus on things. |
