My problem is that even though I am usually under my calories for the day, I am ALWAYS over my protein! It is a problem because I know I need to eat more, but there isn't anything you can…

Really starting to dislike Subway...
I love Subway. You can get a filling meal that is low in calories. Since I started logging my calories on MFP, I am starting to dislike Subway in some ways.
