I'm doing pretty well on everything (well sugar is sometimes an issue) but I'm consistently going over on my protein. I need some snack suggestions that will help. Normally I would eat some nuts or something, but I'm always out of protein. What are some good snacks to eat?

    MFP's protein is way too low, don't worry if you go over that.....Protein is good for you...

    It's ok to go over on protein.

    Interesting. I was always trying to up my protein in the past and thought it was odd I kept going over with MFP. I don't eat a lot of carbs normally so I usually have a fair amount of protein in my diet.

    Yep - eat more protein. Ignore MFP. A good rule of thumb is about 1 gram of protein per 1 pound of lean body mass.
