That's a farily high protein intake and a low carb intake, as you said. Unless you're a clydesdale who rides several hours per day, that's certainly more protein than you need. 108 grams of carbs is barely enough to replace depleted glycogen from a 2-hour ride. I'll consume 100 grams of carbs or more on a weekend ride in the form of cytomax, clif bars, and clif shots. That doesn't even count the recovery food/drink.

But if you're not riding hard or long, I suppose you're not at risk of bonking.
