Protein is very useful in growth and repair. But too much protein is not good for health. Excess protein will accelerate calcium loss in urine, so that women who have high risks of osteoporosis should not take too much protein. For men, beside the danger of osteoporosis, they also face bigger risks of having kidney stone if take too much protein.
So, how much ideally? As a rule of thumb, we need protein about 0.8 grams per kg of body weight. So, if we weight 165 lbs (75 kg), we'll need about 60 grams protein daily, or roughly about eight ounces of meat.
