Consistently Waaay Over in the "protein" category

No. MFP protein allotment is way low for some reason.

It's very low on MFP. You should eat apprx. 0.8g per pound of ideal body weight. If you are doing intense workouts (like insanity) it should be more like 1g per pound.

It is such a circus act trying to maintain all the right intakes I feel. Some days I just don't have it in me to try to get it "right". I think if you are doing any kind of resistance workout that protein will help you build muscle which will help you burn more fat. Of course I could be wrong. If I am I am sure someone will let me know it!

It can be. I more just aim to get my protein near my goal and keep carbs under goal. If I look and I'm way under on protein, I just plan my next meal accordingly.

MFP sets protein too low. To set your macros, check out this link:

Also, it's hard to have too much protein. 

"It has been observed that the human liver cannot safely metabolise much more than 285-365 g of protein per day (for an 80 kg person), and human kidneys are similarly limited in their capability to remove urea (a byproduct of protein catabolism) from the bloodstream. Exceeding that amount results in excess levels of amino acids, ammonia (hyperammonemia), and/or urea in the bloodstream, with potentially fatal consequences,[1] especially if the person switches to a high-protein diet without giving time for the levels of his or her hepatic enzymes to upregulate. Since protein only contains 4 kcal/gram, and a typical adult human requires in excess of 1900 kcal to maintain the energy balance, it is possible to exceed the safe intake of protein if one is subjected to a high-protein diet with little or no fat or carbohydrates. However, given the lack of scientific data on the effects of high-protein diets, and the observed ability of the liver to compensate over a few days for a shift in protein intake, the US Food and Nutrition Board does not set a Tolerable Upper Limit nor upper Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range for protein.[2] Furthermore, medical sources such as UpToDate[3] do not include listings on this topic."

If you don't like the MFP settings use your own custom settings.

I would recommend following the nutrition guide that came with your Insanity program while you are doing the workouts, rather than following MFP guidelines. Fueling your body properly will improve your results.

It's under "Goals" instead of "Settings." Click on goals, and then "Custom."

What are you eating to be so far over on your protein? I saw a comment about egg whites, but anything else? I need to bump my protein up and welcome any ideas.

Don't forget to check out the vegetarian vegan sections here. you can get most of your protein from plant sources (I get almost all of mine from plant sources, with an egg or three tossed in for good measure) You can also get awesome results going vegan.
My macros are set at 60/30/10 and the hardest part for me is eating enough to get my basic calorie requirements in. Check out Forks Over Knives, remembering that the "testimonials" from people with miraculous changes in their lives are anecdotal and not a scientific end all for eating meat. Also find a book in your library called "diet for a small planet"
Of course, it's not all about what you eat, it's about how much we shovel in to our bodies that help to determine our weight.
20 years as a vegetarisn does NOT mean 20 years of wise food choices. I've said this before, Itis AMAZING and frightening how much pizza I can shovel in in a sitting. And if there are leftovers, pizza for breakfast!

I can't get my protein up without going over in the fat category.

well from my understanding of "protein" in your diet.(especially if you are working out) Protein helps you build more muscle tone and lean proteins help keep off the fat from your muscles.

"Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein" is a high protein very low fat shake that mixes well in water using a spoon. The Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor tastes quite good. It is $16 per container for a month and can be found at Walmart in the pharmacy section. One scoop contains 26 grams of protein and 2 gms of fat. Increase your water consumption when using it. 8 cups of water a day is important. I love the stuff.

Best regards -

The fat category is also set way too low. MFP has everyone on carb overload (if they are following the settings without customizing them). Good sources of fat will help you to absorb the vitamins & nutrients that you are eating.

And you don't get much more lean that plant based protein.

Just sayin

No agenda here. Just that protein is protein, be it animal or vegetable.
No reason to kill an animal to get "enough"protein. And a vegetarian lifestyle may be better for your health than a
meat based one.
