I know they require us to consume more about 60% carb and 25% Protein, but what would be the result if I intake more protein than required amount for the losing weight track?

    If you're still getting enough carbs and just getting extra protein as well, that's not going to do much harm, especially if you're excercising a lot, your body can use the extra protein.

    If you're drastically low on your carbs, though, this can cause problems, since carbs are your body's main source of fuel, that's why they recomment that carbs be in the majority.

    So I think it's all right if your intake of protein is a bit high, just try to make sure you're still getting everything else you need.
