Whats the most grams of protein your body can take in 1 day?


Question
Hey, Whats the most grams of protein your body can take in 1 day? I workout hard & eat alot of protein but today my mom told me I'm eating too much protein & that that my body only process a certain amount of protein a day. I'm 16 yrs. old, 5'8 & about 170 lbs.
Thanx.

Answer
Hello Jared!

   Thank you for your nutrition question.  Your protein intake should be  1 g per lb of bodyweight. So you should eat no more then 170g of protein daily.  Eating too much protein can leach calcium out of your bones so you should be very careful not to overdo it.
