I agree with this wholeheartedly. I see this happen all the time. One of my favorite sayings is “if something is good- more isn’t better” and this is especially applicable to nutrition!

Absolutely true! I see this with my athletes too. Very few people need over 200g of protein in a day. More is not better. Usually between 25-35 grams per meal is fine for most.

Thank you for your comment! Great point, and in the case of athletes - maybe displacing carbs that are needed!
