    I SEE PROTEIN AS A MINIMUM AMOUNT........ IT IS ACTUALLY GREAT TO GO OVER AS MFP HAS PROTEIN SET PRETTY LOW!

    MFP has protein set as 15%, which is fairly low, so dont worry about going over, or change it yourself in your profile.

    The only time you should worry about excess protein is if A) you're getting A LOT and B) if you aren't putting the excess protein to use by working out on a regular basis.

    There are some people who do 300+g of protein daily but they also lift heavy and workout hard. They put the excess protein to good use. I don't recommend loading up on protein if all you are doing is taking a walk around the block.
