How many grams of protean was she taking in daily? The max should be no more than 60grams in any form.

Probably 100 times that. Bodybuilders get fanatic about protein intake....................

I consume 132-162 grams of protein daily. I think you mean the max should be 60grams from protein powder. The problem with protein powder is without fat protein in hard on the kidneys.

She was probably eating her weight in grams of protein a day. Say she weighted 115, that's 115g of protein. Kryptonite for her.

I believe it is a little higher than that. A better way to figure it is by body weight and activity level.

.4 grams per pound for a sedentary adult
.5 grams per pound for an active adult
.6 for a very active adult.

Also to be figured in is the balance of carbs and fat, both needed. These people go nuts on protein and virtually eliminate carbs and fat. That seriously exacerbates the already excess of protein.

The numbers above also assume a proper balance of the three.

‘’’How many grams of protean was she taking in daily? The max should be no more than 60grams in any form.’’’

That depends of your body mass. Body builders are usually consuming no less than 1,25 grams per pound of own weight.

At 60 grams a day you’d leak muscle.
