    I usually go over the Protein recommendation about 4 days a week. I didn't think it was an issue tbh.

    Macro goals are targets, but that doesn't mean you stop eating once you've reached your goal. It may influence subsequent food choices. For example, if you've hit for carb goal for the day, you may opt for a piece of cheese or almonds over a piece of fruit.

    When you tap on nutrition on your diary you are taken to a page with 3 tabs calories, nutrients and macros. it shows you calories which is a pie chart. If you click on nutrients it will show how many grams mfp suggests you eat of protein etc and how many vitamins and minerals you should aim for. I think you may have missed the tabs at the top of the page.
