    For one you need to be eating more than 1200 calories. And 2 45g of protein is a very low amount. I aim for about 130g-150g a day. If you "can't get enough" go eat a couple tablespoons of peanut butter. Done and done.

    I'm having the same issue as you. i have so many calories left at the end of the day, but i am eating way over my protein target. I find this even more interesting because i try to eat only a small amount of animal protiens throughout the day...i do not eat protein bars or shakes.

    i know eating a little extra protein isn't sooo bad, but it does tax your kidneys if it becomes excessive...if you are able to figure out a system please let me know!!

    Excessive doesn't mean 10g over, though.

    20-25% won't harm the kidneys unless you're already in poor health. http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/questions/protein-questions/
