Can you get too much protein?
Now, i am a proponent of 'too much of a good thing is still too much', and i work to stay very close to my range goal. but 88 doesn't seem unreasonable early out.

i'm just not one of those people that says 60 is good so 200 grams must be better. i think people need to go based on their labs. i get mine drawn again on tuesday so hopefully i'll have a better idea of where i stand then.

But no, you are not getting too much protein.
With protein the main thing to worry about is getting enough water to accompany the protein. Processing it takes a good deal of water especially for your kidneys.
But 88g is not going to kill you. Depending on your weight 188g probably wouldn't hurt you (altho by no means am I suggesting you get that much).
At the height of my food zealot stage, I was getting about 170g a day. No health problems but I did look like that wrestler Chyna Doll and I didn't think that was cute so I started cutting back.
