Inside the past 5 years, I've had one episode of kidney stones. In all my years prior to the kidney stones, I have not been consuming enough water (not nearly enough). I've since been drinking about a gallon of water per day. Also, I was diagnosed with gout 2 years ago.

Since I started my fitness program, I've been eating 150 to 200 grams of protein per day. I'm 5'10", weigh 203 lbs, with about 17 to 20% bodyfat.

Since I never tracked my diet before, I could have EASILY eaten more than 200 grams of protein before. I used to eat a lot of meat, and other high-protein foods, and if I were to guess, I'd say that I'm eating less of it now.

Should I be concerned at all?
