Hi. Almost every day I go over my fat ratio. My micro percentages are set at 45 Carbs 30 Protein 25 fat. I'm trying to maintain weight and lower body fat and increase muscle mass. I am currently at 26% body fat. I am 5'4" and 125 lbs.

Should i try harder to decrease my fat intake? I feel like im not eating too much cheese or sweets or anything.

Thank you!!!

    It doesn't matter as long as you're getting enough protein and staying within your overall calorie goals.

    Yeah, you might even amend your macro percentages, do 40/30/30.

    is that an acceptable ratio for body fat loss and muscle gain?
