in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone

Ive just started today, Im excited. Im just wondering if its okay if i have too much protein today and less tomorrow, Ive never used this before but then i also not often have meat for lunch and supper, I live in South Africa , i would love to have someone to motivate and to help keep me motivated. I have almost 40 kgs to lose.
Thanks

    As long as you stay within your macros, you will be fine.

    It is perfectly okay to go over on your protein today!! Look at it as an average per week. Actually MFP sets the goals for protein a little low so I try to get at least the minimum everyday and I go over quite often which is fine.

    As long as you stay within your calorie goal, I wouldn't worry too much about the macros for now.

    Welcome to MFP!!

    Sending you a friend request.

    Feel free to add me as a MFP buddy. This is a lifestyle and you will make adjustment, so some days you will be high with protein and other days low. But remember you have tomorrow to correct the intake and adjust. I've been on MFP for 450 days logging daily, adjusting, supporting and answering or looking up the answer for my pals if I can. We support each other, it makes the community work. Good luck on this amazing journey.

    Good for you! The great thing about this programme is just keeping track of what you eat. It makes you think differently about what you put in your mouth. At this stage of the game don't worry too much about what you are eating because it will become to overwhelming. If you keep track and have set goals to number of calories and can do that the breakdown in terms of protein, carbs etc aren't important. The important thing is feeling relaxed and noticing a difference on the scale in a week's time. Remember you are a great person and have made a decision to make yourself healthier and it will take time. Enjoy the journey!

    Good luck to you all! I just restarted today :smile:
    Feel free to add me. I could use motivation myself; and I have found that sometimes the best motivation for me is that which I give others first! I would love to help anyone in anyway I can!

    hello! i started a few years ago and then re-started last month. anyone can feel free to add me, i love to motivate. as far as protein, it is ok for you to go over a little and especially if you are doing heavy cardio that day. it is ok to go over on anything on occasion. the important thing to remember is this is a life style change and it wont happen over night! good luck to everyone! :smile:
