I exercise everyday doing both cardio and weights. I am trying to loose weight and tone up my muscles at the same time.I have a habit of going over on my protein everyday. Can anyone tell me how this might affect what I'm trying to accomplish.

What is your protein goal, and what is your actual intake?
MFP's default protein goal is pretty low, so if you are going over that then it's not a problem... it's actually a good thing. Generally 1 gram of protein per pound of lean body weight is a good starting point.0 -
As long as you stay under your total calorie goals, it will do nothing but help you while dieting.0
