Awkward question...
Okay this is probably a little gross/TMI, but I'm just wondering what I should do.... today I ate all of my planned calories and went for a run. However, I think I didn't let my food digest completely before my run and let's just say I had to stop early due to... well... "the runs." (I know, gross, I'm sorry.) So I guess…

Question about protein
Since I've joined I always eat more grams of protein than mfp suggest. It says I should eat 45grams but I always go over. I never go over on calories, carbs, or fat. Is this a problem? Should I eat less protein? Will this affect my weight loss? I am not sure.
