      That's a good thing in my opinion.

      I'm usually good in all areas except sugar ...

      Protein is good! I always go over on protein, I wouldn't worry

      Most people need more protein than MFP recommends. There are a few things that you should exeed, set those up as a bare minimum. Protein, fiber, vitamin A, Vitamin C, Iron, Potassium, etc. I usually eat at least 150 grams of protein a day due to my goals.

      It might be a good idea to consider changing your goals to 40/30/30. A lot of MFP members have recommended this and I'm trying it out at the moment.

      Seconding the 40/30/30 advice! Other than that make sure you read chattygirl2's link ;O (and/or do some more research yourself if need be)

      Adding my voice to the support of protein! Great article - I am a huge fan of whey protein. It is so good for you and really fills you up.
