CalvinY64 Asked : I recently started up on a weight loss program and my trainer put on a protein shake and gave me a high protein diet with lots of meat. I spoke to my doctor about it because I previously had kidney stones and he advised me against it. He says that I can have moderate amounts of protein but high amounts may cause stones again. I am a bit confused because the last time I had calcium stones (I think) and I thought that meat was only a problem with urate kidney stones. I am quite keen on losing weight and getting some muscle bulk but my trainer says that I need high protein, either in a supplement or diet. What can I do?
