Calories are primary. I view protein and fat as a minimum. I let the carbs fall where they may.0

calories and I try to hit protein and not go over fat and carbs.0

I mostly just try to eat a healthful balanced diet and then everything else seems to fall in place. I do keep an eye on protein (as a minimum), fiber (as a minimum), and sat fat (as a maximum).0

I stick close to my calories and focus primarily on hitting my protein and fat macros using carbs to fill in whatever is leftover. I also try to hit my fiber goal. Other than that I look at the numbers but don't give then much weight.0

I think it's important to make sure
Your food is nutritionally balanced and if it is then you should naturally feel more satiated and have less cravings... The resulting effect would be eating less calories. It's important to know too that carbs can effect the body differently than say a healthy fat might. White flour turns into sugar in your body which gets stored as fat for example. Not all calories are equal. This has been a major learning curve for me since I have trouble staying within my calorie limit if I don't eat a balanced diet. If I eat well rounded meals it's much easier for me to control my eating and feel full more easily0 -
Really just calories for me. Sometimes I try to meet or exceed my protein goals, but what I focus on is calories.0

Calories, hitting protein minimum, and keeping ADDED sugar items to one-ish per day. But I don't really watch the grams exactly.0

Calories are number 1. But I always try and hit my protein and I try and get at least 150g of carbs a day.0
