Counting macros instead of calories?

Is it really necessary for me to eat back all of my calories from working out as long as I'm hitting my macros? Somedays I'm too full to eat any more food in the day & i'm over my protein & fiber count already but still have more calories to eat back.

    If you have calories left over, then you must be not meeting ALL of your macro goals?

    They do add up to your total calories.


    ETA: After looking at your diary, you might have a few nuts with your snack to get your number of grams of fat a little higher if you want to meet your macro goals.
