Eating a lot of protein might put extra strain on your kidneys, which could be harmful over time.
Older adults who are obese can lose a good amount of weight by eating fewer calories with different protein amounts, and it doesn't hurt their kidneys.
For overweight older people with normal kidney function, eating a low-calorie diet with more protein for six months doesn't harm their kidneys, compared to eating less protein.
