I crave salty foods, which I understand is due to my metabolism and getting energy quickly from foods. While I am meeting my calorie goals, I tend to go over on protein on a regular basis. Is this something I need to be concerned about?

    The MFP default values are a bit on the low side for protein so don't worry if you go over.

    Craving salt can indicate a nutrient deficiency, not sure where energy comes into it that usually means sugar and fat cravings. MFP protein is the minimum not optimum.

    Thank you for noting that as I am always over as I try to eat protein and I drink protein shakes post work out.
