Well if you have consulted a qualified dietician, Im sure she must have calculated your requirement and suggested you accordingly.
Next Steps
There is no such thing as lot of protein, unless you are taking all on your own, also a very important highlighter is when protein consumption is high simultaneously your fibre intake & water intake must be balanced well so you don't feel constipated & your protein is able to metabolise well & absorbed well too as muscle fibres
