I personally don't consider it a big deal to go over on protein so long as you're not going way, way over on a regular basis. You could try osmething like popcorn or some fruit. If there's any protein, it's likely not a lot.0

MFP has the protein setting way way way way too low. I have mine at 120-150 grams.0

Most folks say .75 or 1 gram of protein for every pound of lean body mass. I weigh 133, and eat between 120-150 grams of protein depending on my workouts.0 -

This is an incorrect and potentially dangerous statement.0 -

What is your body fat percentage? If you don't know, safely shoot for around 100 grams a day. That may be a little low. But not as low as MFP.0 -
How is this a dangerous statement, if you are losing weight and over-eat on any of your macros, make sure it's protein and not carbs.
I agree that MFP by default is way too low on Protein, this is why I customise my macros to take in about 50% protein, 30% carbs and 20% fats.
Give or take.0 -

See your protein goal as a target not a limit, like water, fibre and vitamins.0

Oh please explain. I'd love to hear your reasoning.0 -
Unless you have kidney issues, don't worry about it.
Many people aim for around 1g per lb body weight. Having extra is not bad for you, it won't halt your weight loss (unless you go over calories) so it's really not something to worry about. I love to go over in protein and fibre - I see them as more of a target than a limit!0 -
Go over on protein. MPF has the levels set LOW. I adjusted mine to between 100-140.0

The only danger here is if there is a pre-existing kidney issue. If not, no harm. The standard recommedation for someone active is between 1 and 1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight if doing strength training and 2 grams if doing intensive cardio. Over that is somewhat of a waste but not really harmfull unless ridiculously higher for a prolonged period of time.0 -

The protein recommendations on MFP match those set by the Institute of Medicine, which sets population based recommendations based on current medical science. Eating above these recommendations may be safe for many people, but for many others it can cause medical problems, some severe. While some lifestyles may benefit from more protein, the average person doesn't "need" more protien. Before eating outside medical recommendations it would be wise to check with your doctor or a licensed dietician, rather than listening to a potentially dangerous blanket statement on a www forum.0 -

Then this should have been your original statement instead of making your own "blanket statement" about someone being incorrect.
Exercise intensity and fitness goals need to be considered when determining a person's protein intake. Protein for basic weight loss would be lower than for body recomposition.
However, given most everyone's statement, OP should not consider protein as a limit and become stressed if they go over.0 -

From what I could find, the most recent report on the IOM website is from 2002. That is hardly current. The recommendation there is 0.8 g per kg of bodyweight of protein for adults, but no adverse effects are listed should one exceed the recommendation (given normal health markers).
If you are going to make claims, please back up your claims with citation-- it lends validity.

The IOM study does not address weight loss/fat loss as I recall, does it?0
