Not a problem. Keep calm and eat chicken.0

This is good to know I was wondering about this0

Your not alone I'm always way over my protein intake too. Any tips on how to prevent going over or is it really okay??0
-
I was wondering about that too, thanks for asking. And thanks for the replies!0

I don't know but I'd rather be over on my protein than over on carbs and fat.0
-
I've adjusted my target manually so I NEVER go over, hardly ever anyway0
-
it is fine, but make sure to drink plenty of water. If you have too much protein and not enough water it can hurt your kidney's0

I TRY to go over on protein, calcium and fibre every day...it is a good thing!!! Way to go!!!0

I agree about the not going over on carbs and fat. Protein keeps me from overeating. I go over this but only about 5 to 10 or so. I was told by my nutritionist that exercise and food are weighted about 50-50 in losing weight so as long as you're exercising too, you should be fine.0

TRUE
Especially for some menit is fine, but make sure to drink plenty of water. If you have too much protein and not enough water it can hurt your kidney's0 -
It's recommended by many to eat 1g of protein per 1lb that you weigh. Plus, it keeps the hunger at bay.0

MFP's settings for protein are really really low. I try to hit between 100 and 140 every day and I'm absolutely fine. Protein is good to help repair your muscles. Eat more protein!0

Also, you'd have to eat a LOT, I mean, A LOT of protein before your kidneys were affected. Even muscle men rarely eat eat enough protein to hurt them, but hey - don't trust me, I'm just a smiley face. Go do some internet research and verify.0

I go over protein and keep my carbs low low low. I do have a hard time getting the healthy fats though NEed more fish I guess?0

On my workout days- I target 196-200g of protein, and I'm fine. It's hard for me to hit that actually, I really have to make a conscious effort to add protein in where ever I can....0

It's more like 80/20 diet/exercise. You can easily lose weight without exercising but if your diet's rubbish then no amount of exercise will help.0 -
No such thing as too much brotein0

That is what I just heard from the GNC clerk. Though he actually said 1g per 1lb of lean mass.
So for me, that wouldd be 100grams.
I'm fine/happy going over my protein. I also have no concern going over fiber and vitamins.0
