Am I on the right path...?

Calichick94

I'm a 172lbs, 20 year old female. About two weeks ago I started following an IIFYM diet and I just wanted to make sure I'm doing this correctly.

Based on my acitvity, weight, ect.. I shoud be eating 1770 calories and the breakdown of my macros based on the IIFYM calculator; 111g protein, 217 carbs and 50g fat. I've done my research and I have read a lot on people's posts and I know that the protein and fats are minimums and whatever's left over will be the calories of the carbs. The thing, I'm always exceeding my fats and for protein I'm either close to or exceed it. When I go over fats its usually around +20g and for protein around +/- 10. However, for carbs I don't reach it at all, not even close usually I'm under by about 20-40g. But at the end of the day I'm over my calories based on MFP but when I calculate my calories from my macros it's not over by much as the overall calories. Oh and I use a scale to accurately measure and log my food.

For example, yesterday according to MFP I was over by 300 calories but when I calculated my macro cals it was over by about 90 or 100 cals. The way I calculate is fats is x9, carbs and protein x4 each.

My goal is fat loss, and so my question is if I'm going over my cals a little bit but I'm under by carbs and only over my protein and fat, will that stall my fat loss? I've cut down on carbs significantly and focused on taking in more protein and fats.

So am I good? Or should I focus on staying under on cals even though I'm already under my carbs? I'd like to make sure if I'm on the right track.


Thank you,
