What happen when you eat too much proteins?

Answer 1

Your body breaks down Protein into Amino Acids for use in cells and synthesising more Proteins. Amino Acids are removed from your body via your Kidneys- i.e Amino acids are broken down into their element components: C,H,O,N and sometimes s and p. then NITROGEN is excreted through the kidneys (made into urea)

Answer 2

Yes. If you consume too much protein you body will convert it to glycogen and store it as body fat or excrete it. Some studies attempt to link high protein intake to kidney stones and kidney damage but more research is needed to validate these claims.

Answer 3

Your body will pass the excess protein that is not needed out of your body. But be careful to many protein shakes and supplements without the proper amount of daily water intake (or more than that) can and will put strain your kidneys, causing problems later.

Answer 4

Possible negative short-term effects

Because the body is unable to store energy in the form of protein, excess consumed protein is broken down and converted into sugars or fatty acids. The liver removes nitrogen from the amino acids, so that they can be burned as fuel, and the nitrogen is incorporated into urea, the substance that is excreted by the kidneys. These organs can normally cope with any extra workload. The increased load on the kidney is a result of an increase in reabsorption of NaCl. This causes a decrease in the sensitivity of tubuloglomerular feedback, which, in turn, results in an increased glomerular filtration rate. This increases pressure in glomerular capillaries. When added to any additional renal disease, this may cause permanent glomerular damage. Therefore, large amounts of protein should not be consumed when one has kidney damage to begin with, as it may exacerbate the damage to the kidney.

Possible negative long-term effects

While there is relatively little evidence that has been gathered regarding the effect of excessive protein consumption on the development of chronic diseases, there was initial suspicion that high-protein diets increased the risk for renal failure; studies have shown that kidney problems occur only in people with pre-existing kidney disease. The long-held concern that it could worsen hepatic encephalopathy (brain disease due to malfunction of the liver) appears to be unfounded. Therefore, large amounts of protein do not have any strong connection to long-term ill effects.

Possible benefits

Many researchers think excessive intake of protein forces increased calcium excretion. If there is to be excessive intake of protein, it is thought that a regular intake of calcium would be able to stabilize, or even increase the uptake of calcium by the small intestine, which would be more beneficial in older women. Therefore calcium should be taken in older women to prevent protein from causing too much calcium loss.

Answer 5

But actually the facts are that too much Protein might just unbalance your diet and make you a little bit fat. Which also means you have to cut down all the fat you are actually going to need.

Answer 6

You need to eat one gram / kg of proteins in your food. You need to eat two grams / kg when you want to develop the muscles. You can eat the high protein diet, say milk and or animal flesh without any problem. Your body can generate the energy from from proteins and healthy kidney can manage the extra load of nitrogen very easily. But then you may get deficient in vitamins.

Answer 7

Too much protein also means too much calories. Too much calories means that you'll put on weight.

Answer 8

your body will digest the rest out as it does with any other food extras. IE urine and fecal matter.

Answer 9

A normal health person will metabolise excess protein for energy and excrete the products. This will put a bit of extra pressure on the kidneys. See your doc before trying a fad diet.
