Hi Thea. Welcome!

I sometimes have extra protein, but I exercise and have a relatively fast metabolism. If you aren't very active, you could try a little less protein. Take your weight in pounds, multiply by .4 and then divide that number by 3 to get the low end of the protein formula range.

You could also build up gradually to the full amount.

: eating so much. I have no problem
: eating breakfast, but I am finding
: it hard to eat so much protien.
: I'm not a big fan of protien
: powder, but I would love some
: feedback on whether people follow

: whether eating a little less

: Thanks, - Thea
