If you eat a lot of protein, several things can happen: 1. **Body Composition**: High protein intake can enhance body composition by increasing lean mass and aiding in body fat loss, especially when combined with resistance training. (https://journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/ijsnem/28/6/article-p580.xml; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32513334/; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26500462/) 2. **Kidney Health**: For healthy individuals, consuming high amounts of protein (up to 3.3 grams per kilogram of body weight) does not adversely affect kidney health. However, if you have pre-existing kidney disease, you should coordinate your protein intake with a medical provider. )(https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15502783.2024.2341903#d1e435) 3. **Bone and Heart Health**: There are no reported adverse effects on bone or heart health from high protein intake in healthy individuals. (https://doi.org/10.1186/s12970-018-0210-6; https://www.mdpi.com/2411-5142/3/4/62; https://doi.org/10.1080/10408398.2023.2168250) 4. **Cancer Risk**: While there is some literature suggesting that high protein intake can increase the actions of IGF-1, which is linked to cell proliferation, the exercise mitigates the rise of IGF-1 associated with high protein intakes (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7869853/) 5. **General Health**: Protein is crucial not just for muscle development but for various body functions. It is important for everyone, not just bodybuilders, to ensure adequate protein intake for overall health.
