You probably already know that you are overdoing it. All of that protein is going into the toilet. Along with most of the chewables and the vitamins. Your body can produce large , powerful muscles with only a tiny amount of meat, cheese, or even peanuts. And you don't even need to eat them every day. Sometimes it is psychological. You just feel stronger when you ingest the pills or powders. As if they were "proof" that you are pushing your body for maximum results. Your diet is almost perfect in its balance. Yes.

That is too much of a good thing. Only take one multivitamin a day, that is what they are designed for. And yes you can suffer negative health consequences if you have too much of certain vitamins. Ok I just realized that your multi-vitamin is a 3 a day supplement which seems a little excesssive. You may way want to switch to a one a day vitamin. You may also be overdoing it with the Salmon oil since it looks like Salmon is a regular part of your diet. Other than a multi-vitamin many of those additional supplements are just that - meant to supplement parts of your diet that are missing. The real thing is always better than a supplement and your diet is by far better than the average persons. The protein powder did seem a little excessive but you also have a very vigorous workout regiment so it is probably fine. Next time you are at the doctor I would run this by him as well.
