    OMG YOU'RE GONNA DIE!!

    Just kidding, you're fine. The MFP allowance is very small, especially for active people. Unless you have kidney problems or some other health issue involving the kidneys, you're fine.

    Protein is good for you. you could probably go over by 20 or 30 g and you'll be great...

    On average, they recommend 0.4 to 0.6g of protein per pound for active adults.

    Heavy trainers and body builders will go up to 1g per pound and even more temporarily (under some circumstances).
