    The default setting for your protein is only 15% of your total calories. Most people do eat more than that. I changed my settings so that my protein allotment is 30% of my calories just because I could never keep it under what the default suggested.

    As long as your meals are balanced and you're staying under your total calorie goals, you should be fine.

    Protein should be at least 30% of your calories, Shoot for 1 gram of protein per each pound you weigh. This will feed your muscles and keep your body from breaking down your muscles for fuel.

    Also I saw this site suggests going under your BMR, that's too low just shoot for 100-300 calorie deficit a day.

    Hey,

    I just read this post and went into my goals to change my protein intake to 30% as well.
    It automatically reduced my fat allowance by a lot, basically reduced it by half.

    Why is that? :ohwell:
