I'm never afraid of having a little extra of protein.
"Protein is more satiating than carbs/fats, requires more energy/kcal to get digested and utilized by the body, AND this is very important, increases thermogenesis (body temperature), which usually is called TEF (Thermic Effect of Feeding). This means that eating 50 grams of protein is NOT the same thing as eating 50 grams of carbs or 25 grams of fats, even tho the labels states it’s the same amounts of energy/kcal. The TEF from protein is about 15-30%, carbs 6%, and fats 3%. This means that 100 calories consumed from protein in real life will be 70-85 calories, and not 100. 100 calories from carbs will be 94 kcals, and fats will be 97 kcal."
