I always get a negative protein number. Is that something I need to work on?

    I would much rather go over on protein than anything else. It squashes my hunger and aids in muscle repair since I do lots of lifting.

    I think MFP goes low on the protein requirements. I raised mine to a more attainable number as well as raising the fiber intake. I was always going over on fiber. It had me at 15g a day...and I know you're suppose to get more than that on a daily basis. Just go and up your totals a little bit. I really don't mind that I go over on protein. I watch to make sure I don't go over my calories and carbs.

    No, it's not a bad thing.

    MFP's guidelines are just that -- guidelines. Don't take all of MFP's recommendations at face value; do some research on your own, then customize it to suit your goals and your body's needs. :)
