    don't worry about going over on yr protien. mfp usually has it set very low. most people set it around 40%carb 30% protien 30%fat, you can change it by going into yr settings. if you need any info about how much you should be eating then you could try searching the message board as there is heaps of info there.

    welcome and best of luck on yr journey :)

    I guess minus point on protein should not be bad as long as you are watching Sodium and Carbs..

    I'm intrigued as to what you have eaten to have gone over your protein and have 800 calories left. You do need to eat those calories though.

    Protein is the bomb. Dont be worried about it. Carbs are what you need to concern yourself with. Make sure you hit your protein and fat goals. Doesnt matter if you go a little over on either of those.

    I shoot to almost triple my daily protein that MFP recommends, between 120-160 is my goal per day. Easy to do if you add a protein shake/bar before and after workout.
