Going over Protein???

I am already over my protein intake for the day, and have chicken breast planned for supper.
How do you not go over you daily protein allowance for the day?

I have to agree, I am already over also and still have half my calories left. I asked at Curves and they said its ok as long as its from meats vs fatty proteins like cheese. Who knows but I am still losing 1-2 lbs a week so I am not worried.

Yup, Binkylove is right, MFP does tend to go alittle low with their protein allowance. I've been over just about every day in the year plus that I've been here, and I've still managed to lose the weight that I wanted to! Course, I DID do lots of exercise too, because when you DO, your numbers go UP! :laugh:
But, like I said, I'm usually over on protein, (anywhere from 15 to like 28) pretty much every day, and I've STILL lost! So don't worry about it too much, ok?!

These are recommendations only, and as long as you don't go way over it should be fine. If you are very active at all you actually should increase your protein intake. There is some debate as to what that amount should be.

Your recommended protein is higher than MFP states. Google the topic and you'll find a range according to your activity level.

I often see 0.4-0.6g per pound for active adults. Body builders or those undergoing intense training often go higher.
