Is it bad to go over your protein allowance? Does too much protein hinder your weight loss?

    its not an allowance, think of it as a minimum, mfp sets very low protein goals, depending on your goals you should aim around 1g per lb , im personally at 1.6g per lb at this phase of my training

    This I personally had 115g of protein yesterday, MFP does set this very low for some reason.
