Eating a lot of protein might put extra strain on your kidneys, which could be harmful over time.
Eating more protein makes you feel fuller than eating lots of carbs or fats, which can help you eat less and lose weight over time.
Eating lots of protein makes your kidneys work harder in healthy people, but it probably doesn't harm them if your kidneys are already healthy. However, if you have kidney problems, high protein might make them worse.
Eating protein makes your gut release certain hormones that help you feel full faster and eat less food.
Eating lots of protein makes your body absorb more calcium from food and pee out more calcium, but studies show this extra calcium in pee comes from what you eat, not from your bones getting weaker.
