Everything in moderation is the key.

Yeah, and so can excess water. How many people do you know that have kidney problems from drinking too much water?
Probably none.
If you eat balanced meals 6x per day, and make sure you include meat with every meal, or some form of protein, its highly unlikely that you'll get more than 200g protein. In fact, even getting THAT much protein is hard to do.
People buy protein shakes because they don't get enough protein.
Again, protein is better than carbs, and fat is a good energy source. Meat has both fat and protein.
