Hey All,
Question : is it imperative to fulfill all your macros on rest days even if you stay under or meet your daily calorie goal?
Most of my rest days I do my best to fulfill my macros , however because my rest days are sat/sun sometimes they coincide with events , gatherings etc. where I'm pretty good about staying under or meeting my total daily calories, however do not meet my totals for say proteins, but may go over with carbs, or fats. All constructive feedback welcomed

If you are an active person then just be concerned with hitting the Minimums...
-- 0.60 g protein per 1 lb Bodyweight.
-- 0.40 g dietary fat per 1 lb. Bodyweight.
-- Fill in the rest of your calories with a mix of nutritious whole foods that you enjoy.0 -
Thanks y'all !0
