Too much protein?

Now that I´m eating fewer carbs I tend to go over MFP's suggested amount of protein per day. I still stick to the total calorie count per day. Is it bad to eat too much protein?

No. Consider these as minimums for protein. Too much would be somewhere at 2x to 3x the MFP recommendations. Not because that would actually be too much protein but that it limits other nutrients intake in someone reducing calories.
