How Do I Use It?
Whey protein is great for protein shakes first thing in the morning, as well as before and after training. Casein is great for meal replacements and before bed feedings.An average of 30g is used at a time, with up to 80g used before sleep. There are more advanced methods of using whey, such as Protein Pulse Feeding, but this is a good start.
Does It Hurt My Kidneys/Liver?
High protein intakes may cause kidney stress in ~10% of people who use them. This specific group of people may have undiagnosed asymptomatic renal dysfunction. For people with healthy kidneys, high protein diets do not appear to cause undue liver or kidney stress.

Bonus: Fast Carbohydrates
These nutrients are used in conjunction with protein, especially during or shortly after training. Examples include, glucose, maltodextrin, and WMS. A 1:1 ratio of carbs to protein is common after lifting, while a more cardiovascular activity would necessitate a 2:1 ratio.
