To much protein

I think MFP is a little light on the protein anyways. I am usually over on fat and protein and under in the carb department. As long as I'm eatting healthy whole foods I'm good. The fat portion is because I eat at least one avocado a day.

From what I have read this is actually totally fine!

You can cut down on your protein by weighing it on a scale. I don,t know if this site sells them, but you can find one in a kitchen store or a department store. I watch my protein because too much protein can cause health problems such as gout, as well as a few others. Like everything it seems moderation and balance are the key. Another rule of thumb is to think of 4 ounces of protein as a serving size which is the palm of your hand or a deck of cards. I try to eat only about 2ti 3 ounces in the form of meat but you can get healthier versions by eating spinach, beans, peanut butter. My hubby eats almost all protein and is very thin. It doesn't,t seem to bother him, but if you have a family history of gouty arthiritus it is good to watch your intake. Good luck

The protein default setting is 15% (of total calories). So, because a 1g of protein 4 calories, they take your total caloric goal, calculate 15% and divide by four.

But, there is no problems if you go over. Other sites I have checked, like the CDC and the National Institute of Medicine, recommend a range of 10-35% protein which is pretty broad. The upper limit is set not because of adverse effects but to accommodate needs for the other macronutrients - there's a lot of evidence that stuff like fiber (from carbs) and good fat have health benefits.
