    Going over in a given category isn't too big of a deal, though I hate when I go over my carbs especially when my protein is down on that day. If its over by 10 or something grams I don't worry too much.

    The other part.. your calorie "goal" on here is just that, a goal. We're actually supposed to be right at / around the goal number for consumption, it already factors in weight loss at the rate you set be that 1/2 lb 1 lb, ....2 lbs a week and the caloric goal provided will allow you to do that depending on quality of the diet, if all your calories are from processed stuff like a lot of mine used to be... well I'm on here now, and losing weight.
