Too much fiber? Too much protein?

Hey MFP-ers,
I am consistently coming in over on my fiber and my protein. However, I am not getting too much fat, carbs or calories. Most of my fiber comes from fresh veggies and most of my protein comes from beans and eggs. All of my sugar is coming from raw veggies/fruits. Should I even worry about this?
I feel great, and my energy level is really increasing. My weight loss has been good over the past two weeks. My books on nutrition all caution against getting too much animal protein because of the fat, but I'm not consuming that type of protein. Any thoughts?
Feel free to view my diary over the past few days.
Thanks for any help!

I think MFP sets fiber and protein too low, and I aim to go over what they suggest (aka go "in the red") every day. Don't sweat it!0

I don't believer there's such a thing as "too much fiber"! MFP really sets protein too low for most people. I wouldn't fret it!
If you are losing weight, you must be doing something right! Avoid those saturated fats, any lean sources of protein are good. I eat a lot of chicken and turkey breast, and lean pork.0 -
MFP sets fiber and protein really low. I changed both in my diary. I wouldn't worry about it.0
