Haar Warns of Protein Overconsumption

Mindy Haar, Ph.D., RDN, has been quoted in a BODi article about the consequences of consuming too much protein. While it is part of a healthy, balanced diet, too much protein can result in excess calories and weight gain, she explains.

“Protein not used for the body’s usual growth and maintenance functions may be used for energy, if there is a lack from other sources, and can be converted to fat.”
