How muck protein is too much?

I am getting over 100 grams of protein in with the 2 shakes I am getting in each day. Closer to 120 grams. I guess since the doc wants 55-60 minimum this would be ok? What say ye?

      Just make sure you have plenty of water/fluids. Very high protein can be hard on the kidneys, so fluids can help prevent issues.
