too much protein intake???

Post by jeanderson3 »

I have increased protein intake to around 100 - 110 g each day. Portions of protein are split between about 5 meals a day (every 3 - 4 hours). However, I really don't exercise. I have a tendency to gain fat in the abdominal region and would like to lose the 10 lbs I gained throughout the winter without losing muscle. I do bicep curls every other day, but really dislike cardio and find it to greatly increase appetite. Am I eating too much protein to not be doing cardio, or is this good to have protein intake this high. I use whey protein as a suppliment to help me achieve daily protein goals.

Protein is okay, but realistically you're not going to get much fat burning off no Cardio, and Bicep Curls every other day, you really do need some kind of weights wokout, and more Cardio.
