Balancing nutritional values

My question to you all is how do you get the right nutritional intake? For instance - our fats are carbs are typically quite low but the calorie intake is so high that I personally don't know what I should be eating to meet the calorie intake without going crazy on the carbs and fats. There are days when I feel like I've eaten heaps, I'm under the goals or just meet them and I'm still not at the calorie target. Then, on other days, it's like I haven't eaten anything and my calories are dangerously low but I've eaten something high in fat or sugars (I've been eating a lot of fruit and nuts lately - who'd have thought that'd be a bad thing?!) Am I making sense? Should I be eating more protein, maybe? Help.
