Too much protien?

Hi everyone
Do you reccon you can have too much protien??

Im just asking as im thinking of changing my diet. I have been doing my weekly shop and some calculations regarding the price of high protien foods and I have worked out that .

Aldi Chicken Breast 27.4g/100 1kg bag x2 = ₤4.00 = 406g Protien
Sainsburys Chick Brst 23g/100 500g bag x4 = ₤4.00 = 274g
Aldi Tuna Chunks in spring water 23g/100 drained 130g tins x 8 = ₤5.00 = 200g

Now the best deal to me seems the Aldi chick breats so I'm going to stop eating tuna and eat 2kg per day as its only ₤3.98 cheeper than a mcDonalds

So

Chick breast 406g
Protien shake/milk x2 100g
4 scrambled eggs & 3 whole meal toast 40g
cottage chese 40g
nuts 30g

total protien 616 grams or if I ate my 2 tins of tuna per day also 676 grams

Iv'e only listed the high protien foods I eat and not the rest so no silly comments about im not eating carbs fats ect please .

IMO 2g protein per lb LBM is sufficient. u could actually get by on less.. i do think there is such a thing as too much protein too yes.. just like anything else. the only thing i can think of where u cant have too much of it is:

sex, money, and fun! ;)

Of course, you can have overkill with any of the macros. 616g of protein per day? That's obscene. I don't even need to know your stats, they won't matter - that's WAY too much protein. 250lb + pro bodybuilders don't need 600+ grams of protein, you surely don't.

Looks like over kill to me unless you're 300+lbs.

I reccon I need about 300g myself so if thats the case il cut that by half then save me some money :) Im 5.7 184lb 41 yo
