    Welcome! :flowerforyou:
    You don't need to worry about going over some on your protein. MFP tends to estimate alittle too low with our allowence. Try to watch your fats though, as well as carbs, cals., and sodium. :smile:

    Do you mean you've gone over on protein and fat? I wouldn't worry - the settings in MFP are low for protein and you can safely go higher than it.

    My dad was in Abu Dhabi for several years - he said its definitely different!

    Glad you're here!

    Someday, if I can ever afford it, I hope to travel to the Middle East. I studied Cultural Anthropology in college and know there is such a rich history to the entire area. It's surprising how many things we take for granted in modern times actually came from one or another Middle Eastern country.

    I never had the opportunity to use my degree, but I sure did enjoy getting it.

    Have a gread day and good luck with your weighloss choices.
