A pound of 80/20 hamburger yields about 77g protein, and 1150 total calories.
I’m 74 and weigh about 180. The keto/carnivore gurus say I need about 150g protein per day (0.8g/lb), available from two pounds of ground beef.
I would need to eat three times that for it to become a problem.
a lot of folks get into high protein shakes, and amino acids, etc- and also eat a lot of meat- which is fine for folks with healthy kidneys- but those with kidney damage or disease need to be aware that such diets can create further damage-
Your intake with kidney failure or disease depends o n what stage- stage 4 failure, the stage right before end stage failure- proteins can really do some damage- they state that in stages 1-2-3, your dietary protein should be about 12-15% of calories- Stage 4 you should drop it to just 10%
