help with the calories and proteins

miracle

I have been staying well within my calories...but i keep going over the fiber and protein, but just can not get enough carbs in my diet...I am not trying to do low carb but the foods I really like and look forward to...lean chicken, salads, beans ect..are not high in carbs but high in protein..Is this bad? Should I always try to get in all the nutrients everyday.?

As far as the protein and fiber is concerned, it's ok to go over. The fiber here is estimated really low. I am not so sure about the carbs however. I always go over.

The more you go over in fiber the better! I really try to aim for 30 grams a day. Can be challenging some days. The protein intake is too low on MFP too so I always go over. The only thing I try to cut down on is carbs. Always try to go under.

I've always managed to stay within the recommended calorie range but am over on protien almost daily. Carbs I'm usually low on as well so I'm not sure how they configure it.

I would love to go over on my protein one day. I have issues with getting all my protein in but I'm ok with that. I know I'm eating healthy.

Miracle, you can adjust the percentages to something more suited to your eating style. More protein, less carbs is not a bad way to go :flowerforyou:
