Quick question on my macros

I currently have my macros set to 75 protein /20 protein /5 carbs but almost daily I end up eating more fat so my fat ends up being around 78%-82% and my protein ends up being lower. Not worried about my carbs being lower so much. My question is, is this ok or should I try to stick to my macros I set?

    if you keep losing body fat and don't feel lethargic, good! keep it up!

    I eat a lot of steak and bacon and cheese, so my protein tends to be a lot higher.

    Click FOOD, go into SETTINGS then GOALS, then CHANGE GOALS, put in new macros, and save.

    I'd suggest using the keto calculater (look it up on reddit)...and try not going below the minimum grams of protein it sets for you. the only problem is that if you eat too little protein you lose muscle mass, which is not good. hope this helps :)

    From what I understand as long as you are not doing muscle building/breakdown workouts the protein is not as big of a deal. Not sure on the exact grams you should shoot for but other than that I wouldn't worry too much.
