protien

I think it's a pretty common problem. At least it is for me. All the research I've been able to do says it isn't a big deal (in moderate amounts). Haw far are you going over? A lot of literature I've read says you should be taking 0.5-1.0 gram of protein per pound of body weight. Which seems like a lot (about 3.2X what MFP recommends).

I'm pretty consistent in going over by about 50%.

the lowest is about 10 the most 15 over

Percent of grams? I'm usually 50-70 grams over.

I have been over, as well. I did some research and it sounds like the mfp numbers are low, especially if you are working out. I wouldn't worry about it. I'm more concerned about keeping under the fat and sodium recommendations.

There is nothing wrong with "fats." in moderation. Actually, they are fairly essential for your body and a typical adult needs a certain amount for survival. Just try your best to have a lower amount of saturated and trans fats. Unsaturated fats have a lot of health benefits-these are the kind you find in nuts and oils.

"Fats" making you fat is a myth.
