Answers:
Could be - at your weight (1 gm protein per pound of body weight), you'd want about 120 grams of protein per day - if you have six small meals a day, that's 20 per meal!. Also, at your weight, you body can't process all that protein (maybe 30-35 grams max), so it gets rid of the rest!. One of the symptoms of too much protein is stomach cramps/diarrhea!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
