How much is too much?

I have already exceeded my protein intake by nearly 50% today and I'm wondering how much protein is too much? I tried googling this but couldn't get a definitive answer. Thanks!

    MFP default protein ratio is set too low in my opinion. Reset it to like 40/30/30 carb/protein/fat. If you're not losing much weight try 30/40/30 carbs/protein/fat.

    I think it would take A LOT of protein to be too much...my weight loss coach suggest that I get at the very minimum 60 and encourages more, she is very happy if I hit 80-90
