Just wondering how bad is it when you go over on your protein? I can see why its bad for the cal, carbs, & fat but how about the protein?

    I think the recommended protein tends to be low anyway, so I think you're better off with a little extra protein.

    It's low based on the guidelines I have from my nutritionist. It's ok to go over!

    I go over on protein almost daily. As long as it's healthy protein you're ok!
    Good Luck!

    Thanks everyone....I just wanted to make sure I was doing ok. It seems I have been going over on the protein the last couple of days but it is good protein. I appreciate all the responses. Keep up the good work :bigsmile:

    Idk. They say too much of anything is bad.

    Its perfectly fine. I get 1 g per pound of body weight daily. Its not bad unless you have kidney problems.
