    I believe mfp has protein set pretty low, I quite often find myself going over if I have meat twice in a day, or eggs and meat, so I wouldn't worry too much. Protein itself doesn't turn into fat, it's just another form of energy in the system! I would say if you're going slightly over, but not horrendously, and still within the green on overall calories, and your diet is pretty clean, you'll have nothing to worry about :)

    Don't worry about it.

    MFP has a low % for protein - I think it is 15% but I can't tell as I changed mine manually to 40%C, 30%P and 30%F and aim for 100+ g of protein daily.

    Too many calories cause you to get fat. Fruit has a lot of sugar and your body sees sugar, not good sugar or bad sugar. Sugar is sugar is sugar as far as your body knows. And too much sugar can be USED to make fat as well as too much protein, too much fat, too many complex carbs.. it is all USED to make fat.

    If you’re adding some extra pounds it’s most likely not from excessive protein consumption, it’s probably from excessive food consumption.
