Carbohydrates are stored as glycogen.
Fats are used up as energy or stored in adipose tissue.
For the excess calories you take in each day:
All excess protein, carbohydrates, and fat are stored in adipose tissue (fat)

I recommend that bodybuilders consume 1.1-1.4 g/lb protein per day

That's 2.4 to 3.1 grams per kg of body weight and a lot higher then your "ceiling".
Here's another article that debunks the myth that excess protein damages your kidneys.
