Is it OK to go over on my daily allowance on these two? I'm always over the recommended amount by several grams

    Yeah, extra fiber and protein isn't a problem. Just make sure you are under calories and sodium. :flowerforyou:

    The automatic setting for fiber on here is very low. For girls its recommended 25-30 grams of fiber a day and guys I think is a bit more. I changed my setting to 25 to make sure I always get over that.

    Oh, and don't worry about going over on protein!!

    Hi! I was going to ask the same thing. I have to have a high fiber diet, but I have gone a little crazy trying to get the protein level right each day. I'm glad to know the answer!

    If you watch Dr. oz, he talks about how important a diet high is fiber is for weight loss. It's very good, the more fiber and protein you are getting, the better. I love when mine go over! I make sure there is fiber and protein in every meal that I eat.

    Oh yes absolutely - wish *I* was always over on both of those :)

    I agree also on the fiber setting, it is set too low on the site and really should be 25-30 for ladies, and higher for gents.

    here's a pretty good article on fiber:
