Yes you can have too much protein, your body can only digest so much in a day. Very high levels can cause kidney issues. Some studies show that 1g of protein per Kg of body mass is the max a body can digest. A good target for many body builders is about 2g per Kg of body mass, but best to work out your macros and try to stick to that figure.
