Protein intake should not be excessive

Muscles grow according to your body's needs, that is, depending on the intensity of your exercise. Muscles will not grow due to eating more. Excess protein will be converted into calories by the body.

Since the daily protein intake is no less than 70 grams, it is okay to have more, but not too much. Don't exceed 150 grams. Eat it in two meals, and any two meals will be fine. You can eat one egg yolk every day. Meat skin contains a lot of animal oil, which is a high-calorie substance and should not be eaten; egg yolk contains a lot of cholesterol and should not be eaten too much. The protein intake should not be too large and should be a non-staple food every day.

Regardless of the source of protein, protein should not be eaten as a staple food, but as a non-staple food. The American medical community advocates that the daily protein intake should not exceed 30% of the daily calories, but it should not be less than 15% either. For example, on a 15% basis, each person needs about 80 grams of protein per day, which is equivalent to the sum of a piece of chicken breast meat and a piece of chicken leg meat. Eating too much protein every day will slowly damage the kidneys. This is the reason why protein cannot be eaten as a staple food, but as a non-staple food.
