What is a high protein diet?

A high protein diet means that more than 20% of your calories come from protein. Studies have identified that a high protein versus low protein diet is far more effective for more significant weight loss, BMI, and waist circumference. 

There have been concerns regarding a high protein diet and kidney problems. It is a myth. There are no health risks with having a high protein diet. The average protein intake could range from 1.2g/kg to 2.2 g/kg—more than 2.2g/kg won't put you at risk but won't provide any additional benefits.
