It seems that I will be going over the protein for the day once I eat my dinner. Is this for the day or week. I keep looking at my log and wondering what was so high in protein. Doesn't seem like I had or will have 71 grams of protein. And do you think this would make me not loose weight. It seems like I am always go over in the nutrient department. I am pretty new to this..

Thanks

    You'd need to share your diary for people to be able to see it.

    just a quick note, you should have protein at every meal. So i dont think "too much" protein is a bad thing.

    I go over my protein every day also, I dont think thats necessarily a bad thing.

    Hey--I think your diary is set to private or only for friends; if you change the settings we can take a look :happy:

    I am over on protein most days--MFP has that setting very low in comparison to fat/carbs. You can ask your Dr or a trainer what they recommend and go change the settings manually (for example, mine is set to carbs-50%/fats-20%/protein-30%). A Dr could also tell you what affect a lot of protein would have--for most people it is not a bad thing, but rather good fuel for your muscles!

    Ditto.

    Ps 1g of protein per lb is not a bad thing, 2g is what body builders eat. Minimum is 50g and if you used the automatic settings in MFP (15%) that is way too low. Bump it to 25-30%.

    from what I am understanding...MFP has the protein set very low to begin with...secondly as long as you are under your calorie goal, I think some overages in the specifics is fine...

    Don't worry about going over on Protein or Fiber - As MFP has very low settings for both! ...

    a few folks that go over in protein mention constipation. if you aren't find any negatives a little over won't hurt you

    I frequently go over 100g of protein in a day and I'm still normal (although some might disagree)

    I'm a vegetarian and 'The Kind Diet' by Alicia Silverstone is my bible- according to the doctors who have contributed to the book, you only really need one serving of protein per day. It's a myth that your body needs more than that. I make sure to eat beans, quinoa, edamame, or another protein source once per day.
    I just had some blood work done for my doc and all of my levels are where they are supposed to be, so it's working for me.
