[quote=Anonymous][img][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm wary of too much protein. It can mess with your liver and kidneys. [/quote]

OK, but Harvard says a good maximum is "probably" 2g per kg: https://www.health.harvard.edu/nutrition/when-it-comes-to-protein-how-much-is-too-much

For me, that means staying [i]under[/i] 116g a day. No problem there! Do you know how much of a challenge it is to get that much protein spread throughout the day? Or even 100g? Or even 90g?

I started tracking my food intake just to see, and unless I'm trying to up my protein, it's easy for me to get barely 60g a day, even as an omnivore. I just don't understand these broad statements (not made by you, PP, but by others) about how Americans don't have to worry about getting enough protein and indeed get too much. That is definitely not the case for a lot of women I know.[/quote]

Even the recommendations for high amounts of protein is between .8 and 1 gram per pound. That’s really not in the range of all the health issues people post about. And I agree with you that it’s really hard to get that amount of protein.

Plus there is a huge difference between eating egg whites and eating hamburgers. But everyone acts like it’s all the effects are the same.[/quote]
