for a woman, about 50-60 grams of protein is enough. for a man, its slightly higher. of course this will vary according to your activity level and weight. protein cannot be stored in the body and any excess protein consumed that is not needed will just be excreted. also, the more protein you consume the more B6 vitamin and calcium your body will require to metabolize the protein. too much protein over an extended period of time can put a lot of stress on your kidneys. drinking plenty of water is very important!
