[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't it not great for the kidneys to eat 90g of protein? What's the science on this recommendation?[/quote]

People who body build and athletes, men and women, eat about 1g protein/day/body weight. So if a woman weighs 120, she'll eat that many g protein. It's not bad for the kidneys if other food is eating. What you are thinkin gof is putting your body into ketosis. Paleo diet puts body in ketosis for weight loss and it's hard on the kidneys.

I've had relatives that doctors gave them bad info and it spiraled into needing dialysis (in their case, overhydration). Questioning doctors is a good practice especially if they aren't nutritionists.[/quote]

I hear you there, but I am an early stage kidney patient losing weight and my nephrologist has no problem with me eating 30% of my restricted calories from healthy protein per day.

It really isn’t that much - some milk in my coffee, egg whites with cheese for breakfast, small serving of lean protein in my lunch salad, and another balanced dinner with a 3-4 oz portion of lean protein. My snacks are cheese, whole wheat crackers, mini meat sticks, Greek yogurt. Some days I add a 140 cal protein bar which is probably my worst indulgence. Bam - 130g of protein.
