    MFP always sets calories AND protein too low.
    They set their protein for people who don't want any muscle.

    Great calculator for cals, protein, carbs and fats.

    As long as you have no health issues that limit protein, you shouldn't limit it it. More protein keeps you full longer, helps maintain your lean body mass, and generally speaking just makes sticking to your calorie limit easier.

    Thank you everyone! Besides being overweight absolutely no health issues here (that I know of and knock on wood). I have very little variety of foods that I do like, so I thought just sticking to proteins and under my calorie count would work. I appreciate all of the responses :)
