    No such thing as too much protein?

    The default protein settings here are too low.
    NEVER assume you should not eat more meat just because you've reached your protein goal...
    In fact, go into settings and raise the protein to 30%!
    Then eat some more!

    oh didn't know. New to the site. Thanks for the info.

    Also didn't think of cereal... I usually think of children's cereal loaded with sugar... so i try to stay away.

    If I have extra calories, I tend to eat nuts: pistachios, almonds, or cashews...but any nuts or seeds will do.

    If you are eating a pretty "clean" diet - mostly fresh vegetables, etc. - then I suggest adding olive oil to things when you cook.

    Make a protein shake? You're more than likely not really over on protein. When I first created my profile, it was suggesting I have like 65g of protein a day. Grill a piece of chicken with some veggies.
