Good thinking, Batman!
I put it on the plate and weigh it then after I've finished weigh the plate again with the bone. First weight minus the second is what I have eaten.. easier when you are carnivore.. no pesky veg to worry about...

The whole protein and kidney thing has been debunked - there's even evidence that it makes no difference even with people with pre-existing kidney disease.
Protein is also one nutrient that is extremely difficult to overeat - there are inbuilt satiety mechanisms that tell you when you've had enough.
Personally, I find protein to be the one macronutrient I don't need to worry about - I eat as much as I want and usually make it the main focus of my meal. I want to keep having muscle as I age and protein ensures that.
I usually find I range between around 90-110g per day - so up to about 1.6g/kg of body weight.
It also doesn't seem to impact my ability to be in ketosis.
There is an advertising slogan in Australia , 'Put more pork on your fork', , I am trying to think of one for steak, like, Steak makes one look more of a rake, It's a steak-out ! etc etc.Aye, I increased my protein intake when I learned that protein metabolism decreases in efficiency as we age especially after 50 but also to try and stem weight loss. Soon afterwards I increased healthy fat levels too. My weight has stabilised again but whether it is down to the fats or the protein is hard to tell. Still, it has been no hardship to have more steak.

Another resource on protein - an interview with Dr Stuart Phillips, protein researcher:

Low protein can matter if you have poor kidney function. I had a dog that went into kidney failure and was put on the prescription low protein diet and fluids every day and he didn't improve. It wasn't until I took his protein level way down that his kidneys started working at an almost normal level, although his tests showed his kidneys still were not okay.
Motherhen, try downloading an app like "Cronometer". You can select which food you are eating, then weigh it and the macros of fat, carb or protein will automatically show up. Once you have mastered the app, it is quite quick and soon you will know by feeling what you need per day.But isn’t meat all protein. Oh dear does that means that I have to know the protein of everything I eat and I can only have 100gms a day . I thought protein was meat poultry fish any of that was protein gee I am doing it all wrong hmm

My average for this year is 140g of protein per day.... no probs with blood sugars or ketosis.
