I always seem to go over on my protein with calories yet to consume, is to much protein bad?? I go over in protein eating mostly chicken and turkey. Will to much protein slow weight loss?? Thanks for any input!

    I can talk only about my experience. I am over on protein and under my calories every day and I still loose weight. So this works for me.

    You probably are over and still aren't eating enough :p

    You really should consume 1g of protein per lb of lean bodyweight. 150 lb person with 20% bodyfat = 120g per day.

    It is the part I hate most about MFP...... such a small requirement for protein will only leave you small and possibly even skinny fat when you lose all your muscle.
