YOU NEED PROTEIN FOR HAPPINESS

Protein supplies the amino acids your brain needs to produce neurotransmitters such as serotonin, which helps regulate moods. Put simply, you need protein for happiness. 
However, when it comes to protein, your body used only what it needs and stores the extra as body fat. eating large amounts of protein, especially from animal foods, can increase your saturated fat ( bad fat) and cholesterol intake. It can also cause you to crowd out other important foods, such as grains, fruits, and vegetables, creating a nutritional imbalance.
When you body digested protein, it produces toxic by-products. The kidneys filter these toxins out. So eating too much protein strains your kidney. Also, consumption of excess protein requires more water to increases the chances of dehydration and increases the need of urinate.
Athletes need only slightly more protein than the recommended dietary allowance ( RDA). Generally, non-athletes needs 1/2 gram per pound of body weight, and most athletes needs 1/2 to 3/4 gram of protein per pound of body weight.
