Low Protein Food Help

CatRodger

Anyone know foods low in Protein, beacuase today im 19 over, it says my daily goal is 53 !!! im sure that cant be right I weigh 165LBS anyway im over today going by that, yesterday I was under by 34 !! so maybe it kinda weighs itself out as you dont weigh daily anyway.

Its just today im having Jacket potato with Prawns, I guess Prawns is a healthy protein to go over with but still its getting on my nerves LOL and breakie was 2 poached eggs ? so its not like I junk food binged my protein.

I wouldn't be too concerned about going over on protein--I've found that the MFP default for it is on the low side. A while back, I went into my goals and adjusted my carbs-protein-fat percentages to ratios that suit me better. I usually eat close to 100g of protein daily

I'm almost always over my protein but at least 50, and I've been losing consistently since January. I ended up taking protein off my list and replaced it with sodium. I wouldn't be too worried.

That does seem low for your protein setting. I am type 2 diabetic and need lower carbs and more protein so I tweaked my percentages to more closely match the numbers set by my nutritionist. I upped the protein and lowered the carbs a bit and its working out much better for me. MFP has a default formula that it uses for everyone. And like some of the other posters said, protein is not a bad thing to be over your numbers with, if it is healthy protein.
