    MFP sets protein at 15% of total calories which is pretty low. It is suggested to get between 10% and 30% of calories from protein. If you are constantly over and are having success you can go into your goals and change the % of fat, carbs, and protein by going to settings, goals, change goals, select custom, make your changes then save changes. Like many on this site I have changed the ratios of the nutrients. You can start by increasing protein by 5% and lower either carbs or fat by 5%.
