    No problem with any of those that I can see.

    Same for me... I don't see a problem with going over, I mean they are good for you, right? :)

    In my opinion, the more protein & fiber, the better. Protein & fiber are harder for your body to digest, therefore, you feel full longer & it naturally increases your metabolism. I aim for at least 100gm of protein/day.

    I'm in a clinical trial and meet with a nutritionist once a month to go over my diary. She always says that I'm doing the smart thing by going high on protein and fiber. She encourages me to have protein with every meal and snack. I find combining those holds my hunger back the best. I try to stay under every day on fat and sodium. I think the protein and fiber levels are too low here.

    I was just in a clinical trial too and they told me the same (high protein/fiber, low fat). If I'm particularly active though I'll make sure to eat a bit more fat since it's still an essential nutrient.

    Ditto on the high fibre and protein comments.

    Just make sure to drink enough water to help process the extra fibre!
