    I have too much protein everyday. I have been logging 7 to 9 grams over for the last few days. I don't have a problem with the fats. What are you eating on a typical day?

    Extra lean ground beef, turkey, chicken breast, some cuts of pork. You can get a whey protein isolate supplement to mix with water or milk. I use Syntrax Nectar.

    Without seeing your food diary, no idea what you're eating that's high fat, but some ideas are:
    boneless skinless chicken breast, ground turkey or chicken, fish, beans, nonfat yogurt, nonfat milk, eggs

    I just started here a month ago. I like to add plain greek nonfat yogurt to a baked potato, or lean meat taco, or cucumbers.
    I use it in the place of sour cream.

    Thanks for the ideas. I opened my diary so you can see what I mean. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

    I go way over on protein too without going over on fat. That is good right? You can't have too much can you?
