    no one gets them perfect everyday,unless you eat the same thing day in and day out then its possible, or if you plan your meals for the day and make sure you have the right amount of macros for each. but to me that would get monotonous lol.I try to get as close to them as I can. if I go a little over I dont worry too much,I just try to stay under or right at the goal the next day. but thats just how I do it.

    For someone who is trying to maintain their weight and doesn't really give a crap about deficit calories, balancing my macros means A LOT to me. I want to be able to feel full throughout the day and have enough energy to not nap for 3 hours after I get off work. So far, days where I eat little protein and lots of fats and refined sugar, I feel like crap. Days when I eat fiber-filled carbs and protein I can stay awake the entire day.

    I honestly think telling someone to not pay attention to macros, refined sugar or sodium defeats the purpose of eating healthy.
