Protein?
Okay, I've heard from several sources that you're supposed to have the equivalent to your body weight in grams of protein.
Is this right?
But then, should someone who's 300 pounds eat 300 grams of protein? That seems a little ridiculous.
Is it possible to overdo it?
I thought I understood this whole thing, but apparently not. How do you measure how much protein you need?
I'm 19/f, and I'm trying to get leaner and more toned. I weigh about 125, and I do work out pretty much daily.
I have a question in the pool, but I wanted to hear from you specifically.
Thanks in advance.

That kind of protein consumption is commonly mistaken for the right kind- which is 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of LEAN bodyweight, not just overall bodyweight so it is very easy to overdo protein consumption. It is my belief that even this is too much. We as humans are basically water and protein and I believe that if you're getting a decent amount of protein each day from dairy and meat- it's very very hard to become deficient of protein. For your goal/bodyweight I would keep it between 50-100 grams a day since you're not a hardcore bodybuilder looking for size and strength lol.
