    What difference does it make if you go over your protein? Fat I would worry, protein not so much

    Protein can strss the kidneys...if consumed at a large rate. Anyone with kidney issues needs to be extra careful of protein consumption.

    but MFP sets it at a super low percentage for protein. Protein is good (as long as you don't have health risks). Go into home, goals and custom set up if you want to change it. I think I"m at 35% or something like that - kidney issues usually come into play with really high protein diets.
