What can I do if I passed on my carb intake but still have protein and fat? Agh. Counting carbs is so confusing.

Eat chicken with avocado on it...

How many calories do you have left? I would just eat the remainder from fat or protein sources such as lean meats, cheese, or a protein shake to stay full.
If you're out of calories then don't go over just to make up for eating less protein, just focus on getting more in tomorrow

I know that you knew what you were thinking when you typed that out, but it's confusing for the reader.

Could you rephrase that question so that people who read it can understand exactly what you mean?

Oh my god. I barley noticed I messed up. I mean like yesterday I had already reached my carb intake. But I still needed my protein and fat intake to be completed, since I'm tracking macros. Sooooo, i didn't know what to eat last night that didn't have any carbs but has protein and fat. Counting macros is so complicated for me. But I really want to be smart and just do it.

I think a lot of people who follow IIFYM or pay close attention to their macros focus on hitting their protein goals first, then fat, and carbs sort of fall in line.

Obviously those who are restricting carbs are focused on that measure first, but it doesn't sound like that's what you're doing.

Take a deep breath. It's one day - nothing bad will happen and it doesn't mean a thing. Absolutely nothing to worry about. It's good to track your macros and try to hit them, but don't obsess if you occasionally don't get there.

Depending on how yesterday played out, you can make it up by eating more protein and fat and less carbs today. It's not going to hurt to average it out over a few days.
