Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 If you'e ever expereinced GOUT you know you never want to again. One of the causes is excess protein and your bodies inability to flush it. Is it possible to get TOOO much protein? I drink 2 of the WONDERFUL New Whey Liquid Protein's each day. They have just increased the protein value to 42 grams (from 25) per serving and added the orange flavor to the fruit punch and blueberry selections. This is on top of the protein I get from my meals. Is there a risk of TOO much protein? anyone know? Kari DOB 5-20-06 267/233/190 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Do you know how many grams are in 1 oz of protein? is it 28g/oz? I once knew this but have forgotten--anyone out there know?

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Yes it is possible to get too much protein. I would use the calculator and adjust your protein accordingly. Also make sure you are drinking plenty of water to help flush out your system. M DOB 3/1/05 280/160/160 at GOAL! 5ft 6in, Size 8 http://www.tracyslapband.com From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Kari041@...

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Ok everyone, I looked it up and 1 ounce equals 28.34 grams. I wanted to know so I could figure out how many grams of protein are in like 3 or 4 bites of meat or fish. I found out on the calculator from unjury that I need 56g of protein ( back awhile ago I needed 70g but that was on another calculator and I weighed more.) I'm really not being able to eat much solid food lately. I think I really irritated my stoma and I can hardly get in the fluids I need let alone anything else! I think it would be real easy to get too much protein if you drink a lot of those high protein shakes! I'm hoping to get most of my protein from solid food if I am not too tight!

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 I am glad you figured it out because I wasn’t sure. I use fitday.com to figure calories and protein in meat and stuff. Doesn’t it differ if it is red meat, chicken, or fish? I am sorry your stoma is irritated. Take it easy for a while!

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Penny, Not sure what you mean but I am sure it will have to do with what you are weighing. One ounce of chicken will not have the same protein as an ounce of milk for example. It has to do with your weight and hight so it will keep changing as you contiue to lose weight. I loved the protein counter! Nina > > > > > > I know a lot of people have been asking how to calculate how > much > > protein > > > they need.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Hi , It's me M. I haven't been on the board for a while, but I've been reading everyone e-mails. I've been doing okay, I was stuck for a while, but weighed in this morning and lost another 2 lbs. I was banded June 29 and have lost a total of 54 lbs. I entered my information on the ticker factory.com, but I can't figure out how to copy and paste it on my e-mails, is there a trick to this. Can you help me figure this out. I'm really excited to see the scale move again. I'm having a fill on the 11th of November and I know after I have that fill I will see many more results. I'm excited. Thank you, all for all your great stories, you guys keep us going each day and help us get through those tough times.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Penny is right in that there are about 28 grams in an ounce and Nina is right in that the amount of protein in an ounce of something varies by what it is. In the most general of terms there are about 9 grams of protein in an ounce of roasted chicken breast or lean sirloin steak. There are a lot of tools that can help you determine the quantity of protein you are getting. I use www.calorieking.com. You input the food and the portion and it tells you the calories, protein, fat and carbs in that amount. It is even broken down by brand, cooking method and restaurant. If you do it for a while you begin to get a sense of what foods have what.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Thanks, Craig and Nina for the info on counting protein! I appreciate the website too.
