How did people develop the idea that Protein shakes were bad for your kidneys? After all they are just protein, some mixed with carbohydrates, etc. Check the back of the tub to see the amino acid profile as well to see what you are getting.

The idea comes from the whole crazy high protein, very low carb diets. If your body doesnt have carbs and fat to burn it will start to burn protein as energy, which is bad for your kidneys.

Protein shakes are a great way to add protein and other nutrients to your diet.

I include any or all of these (depending when im drinking it) in mine:
Protein powder (whey and or cassein)
water
Milk
Yogurt
Eggs
Berries (frozen or fresh)
juice
fiber supplements
peanut butter
bananas

You need to realize that some have added carbs and fats and are high calories. And some are low carb, fats and calories. It depends on your goals, which you should choose.

Meat protein and whey protein are basically the same thing. The only difference is the amino acid profile and where it comes from (whey is from milk). Too much whey would be the same as too much meat protein.
