My advice is to just be careful. Too much protein causes high nitrogen levels in the blood which is hard for the kidneys to filter. We are already at a high risk for kidney problems later in life anyway. Besides, most people get way more protein than they need. Protein should only make up 10% of the diet for sedentary adults (50 g/protein daily on a 2000 kcal diet), or 15% for active individuals/athletes.
