Lesson Overview

2.47 – Protein Overload: When More Protein Stops Helping: Protein is essential for muscle growth, but more is not always better. Excess protein does not automatically turn into more muscle. Very high protein intake can crowd out carbs and fats that support training performance. Digestive strain can increase when protein is pushed too high. This can lead to bloating, discomfort, and reduced appetite for other nutrients. Muscle growth also depends on total calories and training stimulus. Protein works best when balanced with carbs and fats. Many people already eat enough protein but still struggle to grow. This lesson teaches lifters to stop chasing extremes. Finding a sustainable protein range improves digestion and energy. Balanced intake supports better workouts and recovery. Muscle growth improves when all nutrients work together.
