Question

Tim mentions drinking at least 1 75-gram protein shake and 25 grams of branched chain amino acids each day in addition to his dietary intake. Tim didn't mention the total number of protein shakes he drinks in a day. He could easily be getting 2 to 3 times the protein he needs in any given day. What does chronic consumption of this much protein put Tim at risk of?

Answer 1

Answer:

Tim is at risk of: weight gain, increase in body fat, kidneys stress and dehydration.

Explanation:

Excess protein in a diet can lead to many health problems over time, such as those listed above.

There is a limit to how much protein your body can use, and if that limit is exceeded, it can turn protein into fat and sugar.

The Kidneys will work harder to remove the excess of nitrogen waste in your blood leading in to dehydration.
