Does the Black Edition contain too much protein?

[Tim_Huel]

Huel Black Edition is our higher protein version of Huel, if you wish to consume less protein then our v3.0 is a better option (145g protein/2000kcal). Black Edition is for people who want more protein (and some other differences like the sweetener used).

@blueboy90780

As for my protein I need around 60-108g/day or 54-188g/day

I wrote about this to a Hueligan recently, but the requirement for protein are much more like minimum requirements, not limits.

@Tim_Huel

the Reference Nutrient Intake (RNI) for protein is 0.75g per kilogram of body weight (kg/bw/day) but this is more like a minimum requirement. If you’re doing anything more than just sitting around you are going to need more than this.

In addition,

Studies have been conducted in recent years that have shown a high protein intake, in excess of 2.2g/kg/bw/day, does not result in kidney damage

That’s from this article under the High Protein Consumption Concerns section.

So whether you consume v3.0 or Black Edition I don’t think you need to be concerned about the quantity of protein Hope that helps!
