Typical protein intake should be your weight divided by 2.2 so that you get your weight in Kilograms. From there multiply 1.2-1.8 and that will be your protein intake. For those who are trying to lose bodyfat and sustain muscle should multiply by 1.8. Also, athletes and bodybuilders should multiply by 1.8 or at least eat 20-25% of the caloric intake. Eating too much protein can definitely be detrimental to one's health. It can be very hard on the liver because your liver needs to break down the amino acids. So taking too much can be bad. If you are curious where I got my information. I'm a certified trainer from 3 certifications and a Kinesiology degree from University of Southern California. Before I get any kind of disagreement, I must say that there are people who eat high protein diets and it works for them, but you have to realize that these people probably have liver damage or they might be on the diet for short periods of time such as bodybuilders. Also I might add that bodybuilding is one of the worst sports for your health so even though they look ripped and big, they are putting their body through a lot. Anyways i'm getting off topic now, but if you have any quesitons just post it.
