The recommended daily allowance of protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram of weight, NOT PER POUND! Even the most generous sources say only 1 gram per kilogram of weight.
Too much protein is bad for the kidneys, can cause hypertension, cholesterol issues, constipation, hypocalcemia, and metabolic acidosis, just to name a few.
Incognito - If you are accurately measuring your protein intake (and I hope you aren't), I think you should have your kidney labs and cholesterol levels drawn, unless this is simply a temporary diet for you.
