So lately I have been eating around 400-500g of Protein and have noticed a crap load of bloat. I always live by the moto you can never get enough protein but should I cut back some maybe to 300?

Are you sure it is the protein and not just the over all number of calories?
BTW do you drink milk? For MANY people that will bloat the heck out of them.

Originally posted by ddawg91That is a lot of protein, what is your body weight? Did you up your fiber intake at this level? Another thinkg you might try is digestive enzymes, ON makes some that are pretty good. I also have noticed that if my shakes are with milk I bloat more, using water doesn't, I only use milk for my pre-bed shake.

Also as others have posted, consuming protein especially in powder form, without being physically active, WILL pack on the pounds, and it's not going to be lean gains! To put in "Laymen's Terms", don't mega dose protein, if you're a "couch potato". Keep active, and let the protein work for you, not against you.God Bless,

Personally I started drinking a little more water to curb the protein bloat, believe it or not. I totally didn’t drink enough water and took in too much protein when I began working out, and this really sucked. More water and fiber definitely helped. I suppose that time is also your friend, but you can’t add a dash of time to your protein shakes… well, you could add thyme, but err.. yeah, I’ll shut up. Fiber and water helped me. And I hope it helps you.
I’m asian and surprisingly not lactose intolerant. I drink about 2L of milk a day (1.5L of 1%, and a 500ml carton of 2% at work to treat myself)…. It’s so damn yummy.
