    For every meal every day?

    I read that as an answer to what to do with 700 calories after already eating though the magical macro limit.

    Yes, OP specifically asked about the remainder of the day.

    Not personally religious, but religious people say grace can only come from god. So maybe pray for what 700 calories to eat?

    don't vegetables have carbs?

    That's one attractive salad; I may need to go make one.

    In all honesty, unless you have diabetes or a similar condition or otherwise are trying to be in deep ketosis to avoid the changes as you go in and out of it, as others have said, don't worry about meeting macros exactly.

    Looks like you have a fan club. Nice looking flag you've got there.

    That's flagtastic!

    If you exercise your calories go up and your macros adjust proportionally - did you earn lots of exercise calories?
    I tend to think it's more important to get a concrete amount of protein and fat than to have a certain proportion of calories coming from C/F/P, because if you have a cardio-heavy workout you'll need more carbs for fuel, and if you've been lifting, you'll need more protein for recovery. I get up to 1000 extra calories from workouts and Fitbit activity, even set up as moderately active, so some days my MFP protein target is over 200g, which is totally unnecessary and really difficult, plus on these days I actually need more carbs to fuel myself properly!
    So as long as you've got an acceptable amount of fat and protein, don't worry too much, especially if it's exercise calories.

    You can't. Salad (minimal carbs) and meat is probably your best bet. Track ahead next time to see if what you want to eat for the whole day works for your macros.

    Now you see why bananas are the cupcakes of the fruit world. :)

    what I would do if you want to be super precise about your macros is combine today with tomorrow's macros mentally.. So tomorrow eat less carb to make up for today.

    Or, more realistically, forget about it it's one day, it won't do any harm..

    Don't worry about it.
    Eat 700 calories of food.
    Stick closer to your macro goals tomorrow if you prefer to get less carbs.

    One day isn't going to magically destroy all your progress.
