Funnily enough, this would actually be a really good question for ChatGPT.

The bigger answer, though, is that you don't need to be exact every day.

Pretty close on average over a small number of days to a week is just fine.

It's also fine to work at getting to "pretty close on average" over a period of time, as long as your current eating style isn't crazy unhealthful, and you don't have any serious diet-relevant health conditions.

It's calories that determine weight loss/gain/maintenance directly, not nutrition. Sure, nutrition can indirectly affect body weight: Sub-par nutrition can cause fatigue or spike appetite. Fatigue makes us move less, burn fewer calories than expected. Appetite spikes make it tough to stick with calorie goal, so we're more likely to over-eat. The direct mechanism affecting weight is still the calories.

Nutrition is important for health in diverse ways, so it's worth working at. But it isn't like a magic spell where every little detail has to be precise, or bad things will happen. Like I said, pretty close on average is just fine.

In general, I'd suggest treating fats and protein as minimums. Each of those contains what are technically "essential nutrients", things our body seriously needs, but can't manufacture on its own out of other food intake. Getting a little extra of either within reason is fine, maybe even beneficial. Carbs are more flexible - our bodies can manufacture carb-equivalents out of fats or protein, in a pinch.

As far as what to do right now with those macro goals: As you might guess, something that comes close on the protein and fats would be good. No need to obsess about it, though. It'll be fine.

You could try Barilla whole wheat pasta (38g carbs plus 8g protein per 2 oz) with Classico marinara sauce (low in fat and 10g carbs per serving). You’ll have to do a little math to reach your goals but I think roughly it’ll line up with what you’re looking for!
