it depends on your bodyweight overall dude. If you're taking in more than 2g per lb of bodyweight then you're taking in too much and can do damage to your kidneys

You're not reading the label correctly there, bud. Each SERVING is 13g. There're probably 2.5 servings in the can if you have the standard size on, meaning 32.5G Protein.

Smoking is good for you, keep at it.... Not really.

depends on how much lbm you have the more you have the more protiens you will need, all u would need is 1g per pound of bodyweight
