Two Quick Questions

1. I am way over my protein today. I have calculated ahead and planned my day, should I edit it to lower protein? I am 39 over.

2. I am under my calorie limit and I have more working out to do. Any advice for some small snacks to boost my calories (Not protein shakes for obvious reasons.)

    Too much can make you fat if you eat too much:sad:

    1. As far as I know, you can't really have too much protein. The only problem is that if you are consistently eating too much protein, it could be bad for you if you have pre-existing liver or kidney problems. You can google it, but I wouldn't worry about going over.

    2. Cereal with milk? Fruit? Oatmeal with fruit in it? Toast with PB? Yummm now I'm hungry!! :)

    I have already had breakfast so I need to edit lunch or dinner.

    Already prepped my snacks so not changing those =p

    i wouldn't worry..protein makes u feel full is what I am told.. As for snacks, your choice look for those 100 calorie packs I like the Special K cracker chips...

    You need protein to lose weight so if your over your count it is more of a positive than a negative :-)

    I wouldn't worry about going over on protein- the MFP estimate is a bit low imo (goal is about 2 g of protein for every kg of body weight. or 1g for every lb).

    Add in some fruit? Or reward yourself with a sweet coffee, or cocoa- somthing you've been cutting out recently. :D
