    I would suggest ignoring that. It is not like these numbers are written in stone, and unless you have changed you protein level myfitnesspal (MFP) has a very low setting for protein.

    okay. So they don't want you to go over the protein?

    Its not a bad thing to go over on protein at all. MFP protein levels are already set to pretty low.

    You can go over on any of them. If you are going over protein is the better choice.

    Just concentrate on your calories and making sure you don't go over you net calories that MFP assigns to you.

    You can go over on the protein. I go over pretty much every day. It is more important you eat those 400 calories. Eating too few calories can lead to "starvation mode" which is not good.

    protein is a minimum goal. As is fiber and the vitamins. It'd be nice if these did not turn red if you overed, but I understand it's just a mathematical program with a column heading.
