Going over Macros and Micros

20 years old 220 lb 6"4' Moderate Exercise

I'm a super healthy eater! Lots of wholegrain, meats, fish, fruits and vegies NOTHING SUGARY OR PROCESSED!!!

Except I noticed through my nutrient details over the day I'm seeimng lots of red...


What I wanna know is... is this for everyone???

for example...

Total Goal Left

Cholesterol 342 390 -42
Dietary Fibre 51 30 -21
Sugars 63 53 -10
Protein 143 99 -44

    As long as your TDEE is greater than the calories you consume you won't gain weight... regardless of how 'healthy' a food is.

    How do you mean?? My TDEE is 3511. So does that mean, it doesnt matter how much I go over my macros and micros.. I'll still lose weight???

    FO' REALL!?!?!?!

    The "Sugars" targets seems impossible to meet.
    I almost never eat food with added sugar and still I gain too much sugar from several fruits and lean diary products a day.

    As to exceeding the target values of dietary fiber, proteins and even fat don't bother as long as you meet the calories goal.

    Okay Fantastic! So as long as I eat way below my TDEE (usually about a 1000 deficit) I shouldnt worry about the macros and micros?? (Not going insanely over that is)

    And I'll still lose weight????

    Losing weight is as simple as this: It's calories in vs calories out. That's it.
