    Going over protien is fine- MFP has protien set pretty low.

    Protein keeps me full, so I don't worry about too much.

    you can go into the settings and change the % of fat, protein and carbs to help balance better to your style. :smile:

    I'll second that! MFP DOES tend to go too low with their protein allowance! So don't worry about going over on it. :smile:

    I consider the Protein and Fiber numbers in MFP to be minimums rather than maximums.

    I don't worry about being over, just under.

    I seem to have the same problem of going over on protien and a little over on carbs but I seem to have a couple of hundred calories to go. tonight I have over 400 hundred calories to go. I am making healthy choices, I don't know, I am trying to stay on track, I am such a junk food junky :smile:

    the personal trainer i saw said you want to always eat protein within 4 hours of your workout to help repair your muscles and keep them from getting sore... i always go over on my protein.
