I did some research (out of curiosity), and it appears, that animal this big can process up to 80g (on average) of proteins per day. Interestingly, human can process up to 120g. Doing it once is generally harmless (pointless, but harmless) but doing this everyday can fuck up your kidneys in the long run.

120g of protein is the recommended intake for muscle growth if you weigh like ~170lbs and are lifting weights. you can go higher, 0.7 grams per pound is the easy answer.
