Sooo Tired..
Literally I get so tired now at the end of the work day, I never used to get this tired and my sleep habits haven't changed.

Anyone else experiencing…

Too much protien?
Is there a problem with eating too much protein? I'm always over on MFP counts, but I'm not doing it on purpose and I don't feel like its excessive. I'm usually around or just under my calorie goals, so in the big scheme of things.. is it bad to have too much protein?
