ugh too much protein?

I just had metabolic testing done and was told that too much protein can be hard on your kidneys, especially as you get older. I think the 1g per 1 kg of weight is about what the dietician recommended for me, so I am going to trust that advice over well-meaning fellow MFPers...

I would not believe a dietitian's opinion over some of the peeps on here. At least here you can check the assertions by reading peer reviewed studies and articles from reputable sources. I would ask your dietitian for some additional information as to where they came up with this.

ETA: higher protein is fine as long as you stay properly hydrated and do not have a pre-existing medical issue.
