With a lot of work I can get my calories within the levels recommended but I have a problem keeping my protein levels from going over. Is this going to create an issue with my weight lose.
My meats mainly consist of chicken or fish.

If you're using MFPs default macros then it's fine to go over fat and protein, as long as you hit your calorie goal.0

Other than minimal amounts of fat, going over protein is fine. Weight loss is determined by calories (aka energy balance). A lot of times, depending on your specific calories, the mfp suggestions tend to be below the optimal rate of protein anyways (a drawback of percentage-of-calories based macros).
