Too Much Protein??

I have added a Protein drink in my quest in the morning, as I have a hard time with hunger around 10:00 am, which has worked! My question is that I am alloted 45g Protein a day and the drink is 31g in itself, so I am going over on my protein but still remaining within my calories? Is there a thing as too much protein?

    Lower your carb goal in settings and it will give you more protein automatically.

    MFP's protein allowance is way too low. I aim for 100g protein/day as a minimum. If you reset your percentages, you're allowance shown will increase. I have mine set at 40% carbs, 40% protein and 30% fat.
