Looks like you had 70g today. You're well in the clear. You can go way higher than that. Many people aim for 1g per lb of body weight.

I do 80-100 grams per day. Those who lift weights do about double that.

Most people don't get enough by far!

Hope this helps some!

Not a Dr but I don't think its a real problem. A meal heavy in protein will prbably just make you shed a little more water than usual.
If you regularly get waaaaay more than your body can use, then you risk certain kidney or liver problems.

I wouldn't worry.

Shoot for .5 to 1 gram of protein for each pound of lean body weight.
