Is it critical if I go over on the protein portion for the day?

    I don't know about anyone else, but I just joined this site, and i'm finding the protein allowances extremely low. I would imagine it all depends on your fitness level, your goals and your wokout level...i'd be way under for my protein if I ate according to the mfp settings.

    I too have noticed that the protein allowance is very low. Seems like each day im over by a few points.

    You can change your protein goal amounts. I did, because I feel better when I eat more.

    Go to "My Home" "Goals" "Change Goals" and then choose "Custom" and change them to whatever you want.

    Thank you for that helpful hint! I'm still playing around on here, trying to figure things out.
