Is it ok to go over on ONLY your daily Protien? I always find I stick to my guidelines except my protien...it is always over?

Do you think this will effect my weightloss??

TIA

    More protein is a good thing too me. If you don't get enough your body will use your lean muscle and as women we need all we can get.

    MFP protein recommendation is too low by default for my taste. I upped mine to 30%

    Provided that you stay in a calorie deficit it will not hurt your weight loss. If your overconsumption of protein (while staying at your calorie target) causes you to under-consume fat, there's a possiblity you'd have other issues in the long-term.

    In short, keep doing it but not at the expense of proper fat intake.

    I also go over the daily protein amount that I need.. It's okay if you exceed in protein but in moderation. Too much protein may damage kidneys, and I mean TOO MUCH protein (like 150 grams a day) ..
    Best of luck to you xx

    Some MFP measures are targets rather than maximums, such as protein, fibre and vitamins, so don't panic! If you want to increase your protein, try setting your macros to 40/30/30 carbohydrates/fats/protein. Good luck!
