What's more important to hit (when bulking or in general),
calorie goals or macros?
I can hit my macros pretty close, but go under quite a bit on calories...Is this not helpful at all??

If you go too far under your calorie goal, you will not achieve the objective of bulking. If you go too far under your protein goal, you will not be optimizing your bulk.

Which macros are you hitting and which are you coming in under for?

I'm pretty good with my macros. it's the calories I go under. If I hit my calories, I'll go over all my macros. I think I'm getting plenty of protein (as long as I don't run out of my protein powder)

How can you go over all your macros if you are under your calories?

Remember there is no arbitrary ceiling on your macros, the only time I would worry about going over, is if it was keeping me from getting adequate amounts of proteins or fats

The foods I eat aren't that high in calories

Calories come from your macros. You cannot be over on all of them and under on your calories by any significant amount (fiber screws up the math a bit).

I just looked at your diary - you are under on everything. Do you have an example day?

I wasn't finished with today and today I actually came pretty close to calories because of the soy nut butter, but it was a one day only food...
I'm typically under on everything because I've been afraid to go over my macros because I didn't know the answer to my question.

Example day...let me check...
March 2nd...
March 1st...
February 27th...

I looked at more days than today. I don't get the question as it is contradictory to what you have just noted - could you clarify.
