If i weigh 60kg how much protein should i get in grams a day

i checked and it varies from 1 gram-1.5gram proteins per pound of body weight but thats an insane amount of protein

No really too much protein can lead to Damage of your kidneys known fact you need to do some research mate

If it makes up more then 30% of calorie intake then there is toxic build up of ketones and puts strain on your kidneys. So taking 200grams of protein a day you are not going to eat enough carbs.

Almost everyone I know at various gyms use 40:40:20 ratio
(protein/carb/fat), and with success at that. Some have been using for years and no kidney damage. Yeah.

The only link between protein and kidney failure that I am aware of is in people with pre-existing kidney conditions/full blown kidney failure. These people are prescribed lower protein diets but what is suitable for that population is not necessarily what is suitable for people who do not have that condition.

Right I'm only gonna repeat this one more time lol. High protein diet causes build up of toxic ketones. Your kidneys try to flush them out and it puts a lot of pressure on your kidneys. You don't really need more then 120grams a day to be honest as it gets to a point where the excess protein won't be used for anything.

In summary, studies documenting high protein intake as a cause of renal disease in any animal model have not been done. Rather, studies have typically focused on the interaction between protein intake and renal function in the diseased state. As a result, findings from these investigations should not be used as a basis for dietary recommendations for humans. Studies designed to characterize the effects of dietary protein intake on renal function in healthy subjects are warranted.

Although excessive protein intake remains a health concern in individuals with pre-existing renal disease, the literature lacks significant research demonstrating a link between protein intake and the initiation or progression of renal disease in healthy individuals. More importantly, evidence suggests that protein-induced changes in renal function are likely a normal adaptative mechanism well within the functional limits of a healthy kidney.

If you are going to respond to people with that kind of attitude mate then you should be prepared to provide links to something approaching evidence for the particular claims you are making (you make several in this post). Your opinion is valid if you are clear that it is opinion, but if you are going to make out that the things you are saying are objectively/scientifically true (this is what it seems like) you have to be able to back that up. People are not wrong because they don't agree with you and you are not going to help anyone (which, if I give you the benefit of the doubt is what I think you are trying to do) by making claims absent any reasoned explanation. I'm not saying you are wrong as I am not particularly qualified to do so, I just don't think you are doing anyone any good.

I'd be interested to read your sources if you don't mind providing them as I eat a high protein diet and don't particularly want kidney failure, lol.

Actually, sorry to correct you monk, but people with kidney disease aren't prescribe low-protein diets; it is recommended they continue to eat a normal protein diet, of around 80g a day, and are prescribed ACE inhibitors (captopril, lisinopril) to reduce glomerular filtration rate.

No?? On creatine he'll see massive gains from when he first starts it may slow down later but within 2 months his gains will be massive

Interesting. Happy to be corrected, I must have remembered something wrong or just misunderstood whatever I was reading.

That's like saying lots of people smoke but not all of them get heart disease or emphysema. Your completely wrong you most likely notice effect later on in life. It is definitely a risk factor and creatine does not effect kidneys if you don't take more then 20grams a day and you hardly need 5 grams a day.
