I am asking you in long run because there is lot of confusion on internet..some people say they have this problem of ED after taking this..because i dont want to build body on my sexual compromise
Brief Answer:
The answer is same
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Thanks for reverting back to me.
The answer remains same after even long term use.
It is possible that many people who indulge in body building also take steroids that could be cause of ED.
So if you take only nutritious diet and whey protein there is no risk of ED associated with it.
Internet is never reliable and anybody can write anything there.
I hope this answers your question.

Brief Answer:
Gastrointestinal and kidney problem
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Thank for reverting back to me.
In fact the normal doses of whey protein do not create any problem for the majority and free of side effects. But yes if there is excessive intake of whey protein they affect your digestive systems and cause indigestion, bloating, nausea , vomiting and many more (fatigue, headaches) side effects.
In long run there is also possibility of renal problem as there is excessive protein which becomes difficult for kidney to handle.
I hope this clears your doubt.

Brief Answer:
It depends on your body weight
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,

The exact amount of protein reequired depends n your body weight and level of exercise. For a 60 kg young male the normal requirement of protein is 50-60 Gram per day and about 5-10 gram protein is supplied by various grains(100gram) including rice and wheat.
So if you take 50 gram in addiction to that chicken and cereals there is possibility that it will be in high dose range. Considering this fact it will appropriate to limit your protein intake to 1.5 gram per kg per day.
I hope this helps you.

Brief Answer:
1.5 gram per ka per day
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Thanks for reverting back to me.
I mean per kilogram not per pound. The 1.5 gram is maximum recommendation that can be taken. For a non exercising male the recommendation is 1gram per kg per day.
After viewing your BMI report I just want to increase calorie content to 2100-2300 Kcal per day from previous 2000 Kcal per day and rest remains same.
I can just give you random recommendations. If you want diet chart it will be appropriate to contact a dietitian for same. He will be the best person to guide you about daily intake.
I hope this answers your question.

I asked you for exercising male . I exercise four days a week my weight is 70 kg and i want to just increase my muscles so how much protein i should take to increase and how much to maintain and better chicken snd eggs or shall i include whey protein as well
Brief Answer:
That is for exercising men
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
The answer above already answered your query.
The normal requirement of protein for non exercising is 1 gram per kg per day but for exercising men like you the requirement is 1.5 gram per kg per day.
Considering your weight and other paramemters you need to take around 100 gram protein per day.
As you are taking whey protein (50 gram) you need additional 50 gram from other sources.
For that purpose you can take three eggs (one egg contains 6 gram protein) and 100 gram chicken (100 gram contains about 20 gram) as remaining will be provided by your vegetables and cereals.
In case you are taking cereals 300 gram (contains 7-10 gram protein per 100 gram) you need to cut down on whey protein.
I hope this answers your question.

Brief Answer:
Your protein content is too high
Detailed Answer:
Hello,

In my view your protein content is more than 2 gram per kg per day which is too high considering your exercise schedule.

I hope this helps you.
