Don't take it too literally. I try to eat up to about 100 or 200 of my daily goal but sometimes go 100 or 200 over. Unless you have health concerns (kidney/liver problems or diabetes) going over is not a major concern. Most will say protein setting is actually a bit too low0

Think of it this way ....protein & fat are minimums. Some people adjust their macros higher or lower depending upon goals.
Sugar is not something I track, I'm not diabetic. Besides MFP includes all sugar, I just try to keep my "added" sugar at a minimum.0
