Help me out w/this guys

ad

Alright so I went to the Dr. this morning. I have strep…also been having golden colored piss & been pissing needles. I figured it was an infection from the strep or whatever. Dr. asks me for a urine sample to see what’s up. Come’s into the room after checking and says “do you take any sort of workout supplements?” She said I have a ton a protein spilling over into my kidneys and that is what’s causing the burning. Then I got lectured on stopping for fear of damaging my kidneys. That office so knows I’m juicing…btw just finished a 14wk test-e /deca cycle. I told her I’d cut back on the muscletech ;) So why so much protein spilling over guys?

You can buy protein urine testing strips at most pharmacies. It is a simple strip that you dip into your urine to check for many things like PH, ketosis and protein. Here is whats going on with your kidneys. Your pounding them and rubbing sandpaper over them. This causes blood in the urine giving it a very dark color. Cut your consumption down a lot and drink lots of water. Also do a little homework because it sounds like your killing the protein because you feel being on a cycle will aid in large amounts of protein synthesis. Being on a cycle does aid in this but not that much. The general rule of thumb is 2 grams of protein for every KILOGRAM of body weight you are. This can be adjusted up a little to mean 2 gm per every kilo you intend to be. In other words if you are 90 kilos (198 lbs) you would consume 180 gm protein a day. However, if you wanted to be 100 kilos (220 lbs) then you could effectively consume 240 gm protein a day. Now do the math if you were or are consuming 2 gm per pound of body weight you would be eating 440 gm a day of protein that's almost twice the upper limit of what you should consume. Now do this for months on end and you are punishing your kidneys! Hope your not taking any orals at the moment. Your liver and kidneys are getting pounded by Alistair Overeem brother. One more thing to add here; Your body is only capable of digesting 30-50 gm protein at a time. So if you are eating 100 gm a shot you are wasting most of it. 30-50 is because everybody's body is a little different. There are tests they can run to check your ability to synthesize the protein. Mine is a little higher then most but not high enough to consume 440 gm a day! Just keep in mind the 32 gm per meal rule and the 2 gm per kilo (not pound) and you should be fine.

Yeah whatever you're body doesn't absorb you pass in your urine, only so much will get used the rest is a waste.

Hard to get it just right unless your doing piss tests all day :-)

mmm.. i would prob step up that water intake and lower the protein.. all you really need is about 30 grams everytime you take it in, that's really all your body can break down , the rest your pissing and shitting away..

2-2.5 per pound of body weight.
