I started the progressive gain workout and was wondering on the protein intake of 181 grams perday. I only have one kidney but my kidney is very healthy and was not transplanted, I was wondering if anyone knows if protein intake would affect it. I'm starting out to shoot for 100grams until I learn more. -------------- Kevin

However, high protein intake by athletes is quite normal. Good luck! -------------- _Robert_ Pain is temporary; glory is forever!
