I can't seem to find my perfect macro ratio. Long story short, carbs are my problem. I can never meet the protein or fat, but I'm always over on carbs so when I get to dinner I have like no options. Anyone have a successful ratio they're working with that fits for them?

How much calories are you intaking? Preparing your meals, and deciding what to eat whilst considering how many carbs etc, will help you track your macros.0

At the end of the day, calories trump macros,so overeating one macro is not an issue if you're meeting your goal - that said, hitting at least the minimum for protein and fats is important for health and body functions.
Preplan your meals so you know you get to dinner with calories/macros left. If you struggle with protein and fats, start by inputting these first and add carbs afterwards.0
