Hello Everyone,

I am quite new to fitnesspal, I have been using it for two weeks now and I have lost 3 pounds, which I am really happy with :D

I have a bit of a stupid question; every single day my protein level is much higher then the recommended amount. Is this a bad thing? Will this affect any weight loss or does it not really matter at all?

Cheers Muchly!

    proteins good so if you go over its excellent :)

    it helps your body repair muscle tissue after working out and help to maintain your muscles too.

    i'm having my post-workout strawberry protein shake as we speak :tongue:

    I'm always over in protein and sugar. If you're working out you need the extra protein. Don't worry about it.Sounds like your doing good!

    I try to get as much protein as possible. It helps me stay full and helps my muscles repair. MFP sets its protein really, really low. Don't worry about it! :)
