What should I do? Nutrition problem

AlwaysWanderer

This is my nutrition breakdown for tomorrow (I like to plan ahead what I eat). How can I make it right? I've got too much fat, protein, sugar & fibre, but what else can I eat to meet my calorie goal? If I eat less fat/protein/sugar, I will have calories leftover or go over my carbs. My macro breakdown is 40c/35p/25f. Should I worry about that at all, or forget about in and just be interested in calories?

Thanks in advance :flowerforyou:

I have been doing approximately the same as you for the past 130 days, and have lost 52 pounds. Your totals are well within the guidelines of the Curves Weight Management Plan, which has been researched for over 10 years, and found to be very healthy. Once you reach your goal weight, it is good to increase your carbohydrate to a higher percentage, as recommended by the USDA, but for a healthy weight loss, your macro breakdown is both healhful and effective.

Don't worry about too much protein or fiber. I also don't worry too much about fat (assuming its mostly "good" fat). Been working on sugar recently so don't have much in the line to help there but eat clean. I think you're probably fine!

I personally don't track sugar at all, but regardless, the above looks great to me in terms of your totals relative your goals. You aren't going to be perfect and what you have listed looks great. Keep getting that close to your targets and you'll have great progress IMO.

Hit your minimum protein and fat goals, and don't worry about the rest.

I really wouldn't worry about such small differences. There is no way your measurments of food are going to be spot on, so a little bit of margin of error is bound to exist.

Over on protein and fibre is good!

Thanks guys :flowerforyou:
I was always on the downside on protein, but I'm trying to eat clean now. The fat is mostly good fat, and carbs are good carbs (veg, dairy & oats). I'll give it a couple of weeks and see how we go!
