Amount of protein intake can be decided by assessing other parameters like height weight bmi bmr. Too much protein in excess can definitely increase a work load on your kidneys. So it is always better to consult a professional before starting with whey protein so that protein from foods n from supplements is calculated in detailed n a balance is maintained. With protein supplement you need a detailed diet plan so that results are achieved. Consult for detailed diet plan. Thank you.
