I'm on the body by vi 90 day challenge and no matter what I eat, I always go over the MFP protein goal. I don't want to live on shakes and vegetables- does anyone know how much more I should work out in order to cancel out the extra protin consumption? I'm at about 30min a day right now.

    How much is extra? I generally try to consume at minimum 1g of protein per lb of my weight. You can also adjust your protein intake and your other macro nutrient goals manually as well.

    Really? How? ... and I also realized today that I was using Soy Milk instead of Almond Milk. Oops.
    Once I switch to the correct in gredient, I won't have to work out for an hour and a half a day :)

    To change your Protein percentages, (or any of your goals) go to MY HOME> Goals> Change goals> Custom

    Going over with protein is fine. This site has a very low protein goal as a default. Think of your protein as a Minimum, you would be hard-pressed to have more than your body could handle, and unless it is all you eat, you probably can't even reach "too much" on a regular calorie diet.

    Here is a link to the above:

    Thanks! I found a protein calculator online and according to that, I should be consuming about twice was MFP tell me.
