how much protien is heathly for you?

[kangaquads]

a friend and i were discussing a heathly intake of protien (total grams per) to have no serious side effects (like on your kidneys)? LIke have 2 protien shakes a day (pre- and post workout) lets say consisting of around 30-40g of protien per serving, is that ok (heathy for your body? your kidneys?)

no thats just for your daily intake of protien shake suplement not counting protien from normal food.

so your asking if 80 grams of protein a day is healthy??? thats pretty dang low if thats what you meant...

no thats just for your daily intake of protien shake suplement not counting protien from normal food.

Still would say its low, I usually drink 4-5 shakes in addition to 4-5 meals a day, so I get 200-250 protein from shakes alone, just drink 1-2 gals of water and I don't see what the problem would be. I have yet to see a scientific study *proving* excess protein intake can damage the kidneys

why would you want to intake so much protien.....what is it going to do for your body?

i've heard of peeps getting kidney stones possibly from too much protein...not sure if that's true or not...

I've been getting 300-400g a day for over a decade. Works so far.
