Ok, so I have been doing very well with not going over in all areas of tracking (calories, fat, fibre etc.) EXCEPT Protein. For some reason I go over ALOT on my Protein, Is this a bad thing, or somethiing I should be working on.......Your thoughts please!!

    That's a good thing in my opinion.

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

    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.
