•  Eating excessive amounts of protein overloads your liver, allowing ammonia and other toxic substances to build up in your bloodstream. This leads to hepatic encephalopathy, a condition highly linked to a decline in brain, nervous, and hormone system function.

•   Some believe that your should scatter your protein intake thorough your day so you can absorb it all. However this study found out that it didn’t matter in terms of protein synthesis or muscle degradation if you ate all of your daily protein in one meal, or in four meals. (this debunks the myths of maximal protein absorption, and once again points home for intermittent fasting).

•   In this study the researchers found out that diet high in protein and fiber decreased testosterone levels and higher cortisol (food for thought as testosterone is the number one hormone for people lifting weights).

•   People who have high levels of testosterone and growth hormone can also utilize much more protein than people who don’t, as HGH and T will both increase protein synthesis in the muscle.

•   People under high stress (high cortisol) can’t utilize protein that well as their bodies are constantly in this catabolic state, which means that a huge portion of protein consumed under stress will never be used by your muscles.

But then, how much should be the ideal daily intake of proteins?

Well, it depends...

• On how much lean mass you have to maintain
• Your age
• Are you lifting ?
• Your testosterone level   

So guys, it's really less than what bodybuilding famous magazines and site tell you to eat.

Wait a moment, they sell protein supplements as well, and they care more about YOUR health than their income. Sure.

So don't fall in the trap of eating too much proteins, as a rule of thumb, you should eat between, 90-130g of protein daily.
