Weight loss

I want to lose 5kg. I’m 59kg right now. Mfp gave me a goal of 1500 cals to lose 0.2kg per week. Today I had 1250 cals but the problem is I went over carbs by 60 grams and sugar by 50 grams. Now I eaten 200 grams of carbs and 65 grams of sugar.

For weight loss, calories are all that matter. Macros matter for nutrition, satiety, energy, certain fitness goals, and possibly other reasons, but as long as you don't eat over your maintenance calories, you will still lose weight.

agree with above. carbs are not the devil. i eat tons and still lose weight at requested rate.

if you are at calorie goal you will continue to lose weight. macros matter for overall health and satiaty but not for weight loss.

I try to get close on macros but most of the time I don't worry about it. I consider it a tip for optimum nutrition but going over/under on them hasn't affected my weight loss.
