    Personal opinion: No.
    Your body uses protein to build muscle - if you're going to go over on anything, it might as well be the building blocks of strength!

    Going over a little isn't going to hurt you, but excessive amounts can. Your body filters out excess protein via the liver, and over time excessive amounts can actually strain and damage your liver. But, unless you're downing massive amounts of protein I really don't think this is going to be a problem.
