    Yes! MFP's setting for protein are notoriously low. And you can likely have more than 1200 calories per day as well - that's the bare minimum standard for women, and too low for a good many of us.

    I tend to go over my protein 'limit' set by MFP -- usually doubling it...

    Take a look at this article for how much protein and fat to eat. Really, you should not be worried about a percentage as much as how many grams you eat based on your body weight and goals.

    Absolutely you can. I have been told to try and eat 70-80 g a day by a dietician. (I am in a weight monitoring program, hoping to have bariatric surgery)
