For you info, @James13 - As a renal transplant patient who was born with kidney disease, I have heard a lot of dietary advice over the decades..much of it absolute drivel. There was no particular standard food group which contributed in any significant way to the health of my kidneys. The diet is more important post transplant (and for those on dialysis). The NHS used to promote what amounted to an all protein diet (in the seventies) until it proved to be ridiculously unhealthy. It is known that too much protein in a renal patient's diet is potentially harmful (particularly in those who have had a transplant). I am careful not to eat to high an amount (and I would not worry in the slightest about 150g of protein a day. I would not expect amounts of that nature to be any kind of a problem for a healthy kidney...and most people have 2!). Someone taking care of their health could easily eat a lot more protein with no difficulty. My renal specialists and my diabetes consultant were happy with the breakdown of my personal low carb diet (where I had estimated my daily intake of certain nutrients etc by considering amount per 100g and the portion sizes of foods I was eating). I recorded each item in a typical week and calculated to produce daily figures which loosely broke down to - c.30-50g carbs, 12g sugar, 125g fat (50g unsaturated), 18g fibre, 150g protein, c.1500 calories. I am 6ft tall and seldom weigh over 78 kilos. If I was more active, it probably wouldn't do...but I am a lazy so-so. This diet helped me get my BS under control. I am less strict these days. Sorry to ramble on - protein is not something I would worry about if I were you.
