35grams?
That is a lot of protein. You are inviting kidney damage. I was told by a doctor that anything above 19 grams can be harmful to the kidneys. A visual sign that your kidneys are weak is a darkened spot a little below the tearduct of the corner of each eye. Just a little something to look out for.

Say what? Anything over 19g can be harmful? 19g a day? In one go? 19g before breakfast on a Tuesday?
This is nonsense. Most people that are training to build muscle will tak in at least 0.5 gram per pound of bodyweight per day. That's anything up to 100 grams per day and more. A 35g shake isn't that much.
Stubbs - you might want to investigate how much of that protein is actually bioavailable and getting taken up by your body.
Anyway, unless you're a bodybuilder, you should get enough protein from a regular diet. Supplement with chicken, tuna, cottage cheese, etc. if you want a little extra. Vegetarians need to ensure they get complete proteins (bean + corn, etc).
