Eating Banked Calories & Macros

llbrixon

I am finally understanding Macros and I am balancing them really well. Carbs 50%,
Fat 30%, Protein 30%, My question, I want to eat some of my Banked Calories once in awhole, BUT when I do, I really mess up my Macros for the day. So, what do you do?

To be honest the days I'm using up my banked cals, I don't bother paying much attention to macros, because I'm usually overindulging and making the most of it

Protein above should of been 20%, not 30%.

How can having extra calories mess up your macros? Or do you just mean you don't balance them as well?

I look at my weekly cals and macros, so one 'bad' day doesn't matter too much over the week.

What do you mean by really messing your macros up? Your macros are a great thing to be aware of and can help you balance your nutrition...but obsessing over them is hardly necessary...

I just aim for a protein goal of. 8g grams of body weight. Other than that I don't care what my macros look like.

My macros are perfect today with my planned lunch today, but now I would really like to have a Mt. Dew soda with my lunch. Adding the Mt. Dew messed up the macro balance. No...I do not want diet soda.
