  • Both animal protein and plant protein can pose digestion challenges at times, too. For example, whey protein from dairy can cause gastrointestinal issues, and high-fiber proteins can cause bloating.

The article from MSN discusses how consuming too much protein can lead to weight gain, contrary to popular belief that protein is essential for weight loss. It explains that while protein is crucial for muscle repair, growth, and overall health, an excess intake can result in the body storing the extra protein as fat. The article highlights that the body has a limit to how much protein it can effectively use, and any surplus is either converted into glucose or stored as fat. It also mentions that high-protein diets can sometimes lead to overeating because protein-rich foods can be calorie-dense, and the body's metabolic processes to deal with excess protein can increase hunger. The piece advises on balancing protein intake with other nutrients and suggests that understanding one's personal protein needs, based on factors like activity level, age, and muscle mass, is key to avoiding unintended weight gain.
