    Going over a goal of 15% protein isn't a huge deal.

    Agreed. Don't worry about it.

    Protein isn't a bad thing to go over on, especially if you're exercising.

    I just found this calculator for recommended protein intake. It goes by how active you are and how much you currently weigh...

    Going over on protein is not bad. In fact it is good since pretty much all the research I have read says a higher protein, higher fiber diet is better for losing weight.
