    If a number is in the red, but means you went over the goal that MFP has set for you.

    Honestly, MFP underestimates the amount of protein people need, I wouldn't be too concerned with that number going over. I'd be more worried about sugars/fats being in the red at the end of the day.

    Protein is really the only one where, IMHO, you should aim to be in the red. Unless it's some ridiculously high number, being over on protein is a good thing.

    I think they are low

    Carbs / Day 165 g
    Fat / Day 40 g
    Protein / Day 45 g
