i'm consistently under on carbs according to mfp. usually by around 75-150! i'm over on sugar by 20-30, despite the fact that i don't eat sweets on a daily basis. i'm usually under on fat by 5-15. over on protein by 20-40. i usually hit my target for fiber. i have lost 30 pounds or so, many more to lose. does anyone have an opinion on this? are all the overages/unders terribly bad? any that i really should try to fix? thanks so much.

    All pretty normal, I wouldn't stress over it.

    i try not to worry about sugar from fruit, because it doesn't seem fair to rank that the same as the sugar in ice cream or whatever. not saying that we should binge on fruit, tho!

    I run very similar. Oh well. I eat healthy. I would go crazy trying to figure it all out. I say over potein and under carbs is good anyway. The sugar I don't understand either. Sorry, I am no help!

    I'm usually the same on the sugar front, but I eat a few too many carbs (I'm a slave to bread, what can I say?). A large portion of my sugar intake (that didn't come from fruits) can from milk. Switching from whole or 2 percent milk to almond milk helped a lot, and personally I think it's MUCH more delicious.
