How about a further study on added protein's effects on mortality? The increased muscle and strength may come at a later cost .

It depends on a lot of factors including current health, exercise expectations, etc, and is different from person to person and from time to time.
The answer could be 0 or it could be over 2.5G/day/# BW ..... depending.

Establishing optimal protein intake is difficult but frequent strength testing may help . Browse Dr Valter Longo's book The Longevity Diet or view his YouTube entries . He suggests very low intake .

If you understand what Dr Longo is saying, you will also understand why the QUALITY (with regard to nutrition density and purity) of the food we eat is #1 when making food choices.

How much do you guys think is enough, to much and not enough? I once read that your body can only handle just so much protein and that it gets rid of excess. I don't remember what the stipulated gram intake was. So, according to what I read, guys who consume hundreds of grams of protein per day are wasting their money. My own personal experience is that taking additional high-protein drinks hasn't made any difference in muscle growth. If anything, it put on excess weight. As far as I'm concerned, eating healthy foods that contain protein throughout the day is all that your body requires.

So, you're saying that it "gets rid" of the excess protein, by changing it into excess fat or that it turned into excess muscle (depending on how you define "excess weight")?

It shits out the excess protein or pees it it out. Excess weight was fat.

Mikey I agree, quality of food is much better to concentrate on. Bruce I read that also years ago. I believe it was 15 grams. Since I use to read bodybuilding magazines 20 some years ago that's probably where I read it. I could be wrong about this, but that's probably where the 6 meals a day thing came from.

I remember the 5 meals a day, thingy. Who's got time for 5 meals a day?

I could be wrong about this, but that's probably where the 6 meals a day thing came from. If the recommendation was a "stipulated gram intake" of whatever amount for a specific individual, like say, Clarence Bass, then it could be, but specifying a maximum gram intake of protein for a general group of people is just plain bro-BS as Dr Longo explains.
