Too much protein?

So lately I have been struggling to meet 1200 cals a day (just haven't been hungry, not finishing meals, etc). To meet this I have been drinking an extra protein shake which puts me close to 100g protein. I drink plenty of water and take a daily multi-vit and calcium. So, is this too much protein?
Edit: I should mention that my usual protein goal based on diet and workouts is in the 80's

    It goes by your weight and depends on if your doing work/exercise that damages muscles. Like lifting weights.

    Most recommend .8 - 1.4 per pound of body weight. That is if you were lifting 3 times a week, if not you don't need half that.

    Unless you're a feather I'm gonna say 100g a day is not too much.

    I aim for 100 grams of protein every day
    And I'm 5'4 female, workout 5 times a week.

    In the future it would help to know your stats to help answer questions more accurately

    If you're use to being within the 80s range eating around 100g now is fine.
