Protein Intake Research

What do you guys think? They are saying that new research is saying we (even fitness fanatics) don’t need a high intake of protein…

When I enter 35% for my protein intake in your Healthy Body Calculator, I get an error message that 35% is too high. I am a weightlifter and this is not ‘unreasonable’. Please fix this or find a way to enter whatever values we would like. I like your page and would like to keep using it.

Actually, protein intakes above 20% are not recommended based on current research, even for weight lifters. High protein intakes stress your kidneys and do not result in greater muscle gain.

Ok so that thing says I should be eating 5,500cals (ok not bad) but included in that is 700grams of carbs! That was set at the highest level of protein and fat too!

crap, crap, crap

sums up that thing.
