Chris, If you're in danger of clipping, you're recording way too hot. With something like a vocal, your final peak should be -9 to -6 dB full scale. That means your average level should be in the range of -18 to -12 dB. That's what headroom is for. You're recording with 24 bits which give you a theoretical dynamic range of of 140 decibels. The sources you're recording are nowhere near 140 decibels, not even close. By pulling back your level, you'll eliminate any concern over clipping. Pro Tools is designed to have average levels at -18 dB. 18 decibels of headroom is plenty for just about anything you'll ever record.
