Hello, to you all,
I have a question, I starting the adventure in MFP and I was wondering If I manage to keep my calorie budget in order but I go over in protein, fiber etc... Does that matter a lot and will it keep me from weightloss? i'm keeping my calories to my budget which is 1500 calories but i'm always getting like -6 protein, -17 carbs ...
can anyone help?
thanks!

Over in fiber is fine. Over in protein is not. Try lowering your carbs and that will automatically raise your protein. I have my carbs set at 45%.0
