> potentially hard on your kidneys

Is there data for that?

IIRC, for healthy kidneys this amount should not be an issue, slightly more per lb shouldn't be either.

I'm not sure what weight training communities you refer to, but in bodybuilding and strength circles amounts that high and higher aren't often considered "way overkill".

Anywhere between 0.75-1.25g/lb is where I shoot for, depending on my goals. But I have gone higher than 2g/lb for extended periods of time in the past
