    someone posted an article about fiber a while back.... it was very informative.... I think that MFP under estimates the daily fiber allowance... so, I would say going over on fiber is good.... I normally do anyway.... just my opinion.

    I look at the protein goal as the minimum you should be having in a day. It's really low on here. Go ahead and go over.

    Fiber is key in becoming healthy and loosing weight. I have learned it helps to eliminate toxins from the colon by making u more regular and of course it fills u up too. I hav e found that i go over every day on fiber ,but when I compare higher fiber eating to lower I find myself satisfied longer. Same thing for protien. I add protien every time I eat, which is 6 to 8 times daily (more like grazing), this helps to keep your metabolism running and to slow down the absorbtion of sugars that are ingested.
