I was wondering what people's thoughts were on maximum amounts of protein for us.  I know 100g is a minimum for us and I personally aim for at least 120g but would like to know if anyone believes we can have too much.

I think we have to be careful with whey protein isolate such as in protein shakes but I don't think we can eat to much dense protein considering we malabsorb somewhere around 50%.

I guess your labs would tell. I usually drink 4 a day for 120 grams and my protein labs are all in range, or just a tad over in the case of prealbumin, and my kidneys are ok too. I would guess if you drank 300 - 400 grams a day in whey protein isolate your labs might show it.
