Eat more protein one day

[sgarciac07]

Is there any problem if I eat more protein one day? Like 150gr one, considering that I should at least consume 100gr? I don't know if it's bad or counterproductive? It's just that I wanted to try these tuna burger recipe which the whole meal add up to almost 40-45gr of protein, but I normally have around just 20-30gr for dinner

There is no maximum intake level for protein.

I know, but there is no problem with one day, right? It's just that my nutritionist told me that if I eat more protein my kidneys could have to work more and eventually may damage. So I got a little nerveous about eating more protein

What did I just say lol?

Unless you have some sort of renal pathology you don't need to worry about protein intake. In fact it would be hard for you to ingest a level of protein that would "stress" your kidneys. This is typical of most "nutritionists" as most aren't RDs, I actually was before switching careers. You aren't ingesting anything close to a level to cause worry, even for your age. Do you need to be at 200g daily? No, and I wouldn't advise it. But 100g a day is perfectly fine, and if randomly you eat 150g it's fine. No need to stress.

No.

At your age, don't overcomplicate your nutrition.

Came in to say the above. Don't make **** complicated regardless of how old you are. You don't have to hit the same macros every day exactly down to the last gram.

[sgarciac07]

No.

Thanks for the advice, it's just that I started worrying about that since my check with my nutritionist.

Just drink more water, your kidneys will be fine with a little more protein every so often.

It's like a routine check
