Too much protein ?

I always have more protein than is suggested for me on MFP. Is that a bad thing? If it is, why? That, so far, has been my only number consistently red instead of green.
Thanks in advance for the help. I love the many sources of help on this site! :)

    Not likely. MFP's default settings are pretty low, and the only way to get too much protein (realistically speaking) is if it's at the dramatic expense of the other macros.

    I'm sure you're fine.

    This. It's probably better for you to go over.
