I’m NEW. I have questions

Hello everyone! Thanks for accepting me. I’m new to the group, and finding my biggest challenge thus far is getting enough protein to hit my macros. Any suggestions? Thanks motivated to be ME

what is your protein goal and your calorie goal? I can help but without those two, it's hard to say what you need.

Protein: chicken, tuna, peanut butter, red meat

If you haven't seen it, maybe check out this thread:

It helped me when I was getting started.

If MFP set your protein goal, it probably isn't crazy-high. We do see people getting unjustifiably high protein goals from other sources sometimes, usually from sources that use body weight as a basis but don't qualify that by saying that it may make sense to use goal bodyweight if significantly overweight at the time.
