I've been over my protein, and still haven't met my calorie intake from my exercise....since protein makes up to 4 calories per protein, could i just add that to my calorie intake...or is it included already?

    I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you asking if all of the calories that are in each gram of protien you eat included in the daily calorie total? If so, yes. And don't worry about being over on protien. Its a good thing. I changed my settings on MFP to 40% carbs, 30% fat and 30% protien. I am usually required to eat about 130 grams a day. I have a hard time doing that though.

    Don't worry about going over some on your protein. MFP tends to go alittle too low with their protein allowance. :smile:
