I have too much protein everyday. I have been logging 7 to 9 grams over for the last few days. I don't have a problem with the fats. What are you eating on a typical day?0

I eat a lot of chiken, tuna and eggs as far as my protien is concerned. Good luck0

Extra lean ground beef, turkey, chicken breast, some cuts of pork. You can get a whey protein isolate supplement to mix with water or milk. I use Syntrax Nectar.0

Chicken, fish, greek yogurt, some protein bars, almonds (good fats) trimmed beefs0

Without seeing your food diary, no idea what you're eating that's high fat, but some ideas are:
boneless skinless chicken breast, ground turkey or chicken, fish, beans, nonfat yogurt, nonfat milk, eggs0 -
I just started here a month ago. I like to add plain greek nonfat yogurt to a baked potato, or lean meat taco, or cucumbers.
I use it in the place of sour cream.0 -
beans and rice make a complete protein0

See if this example of my over-protein-ness helps!

Thanks for the ideas. I opened my diary so you can see what I mean. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.0

I go way over on protein too without going over on fat. That is good right? You can't have too much can you?0
