The Science
Why Protein Matters
How much protein is too much?
For most healthy adults, consuming up to 2g of protein per kg of body weight is safe. Extremely high protein intake (above 2.5g/kg) without sufficient water intake or fiber can lead to digestive issues, but kidney damage is generally only a concern for those with pre-existing kidney conditions.
Protein for weight loss?
Eating adequate protein is crucial for weight loss because it is the most satiating macronutrient (keeps you full longer) and has a high thermic effect (your body burns more calories digesting it). It also prevents muscle loss while in a calorie deficit.
