I'm getting a very common question so I figured it east to answer it in the group as a thread.
When I set up everyone's macronutrient profiles everyone was put on a low carb diet. This program then defaults by raising the protein to make up for the calories you're not getting from carbs. That being said, you don't have to hit your protei totals every day.
What we do want is for you to be eating every 4 hours maximum ( some combination of protein and or vegetables)
Unless you have a previous liver/ kidney condition then there's no risk of getting too much protein.
The risk of getting too little protein however is deprived recovery and consequently deprived muscle growth.
If you're getting close to your protein goals and you're eating every 3 to 4 hours, and you're not getting extremely sore and staying sore for days on end after the workouts, then you should be totally fine.
Let us know if you have any questions
