    Twelve grams is minor. You are darned close! Call this day a win.

    You'll drive yourself around the bend trying to perfectly hit your macros everyday.

    Don't worry about what anyone else says or does. You do you, find what works for you.
    Some people thrive on low carb, others do better on high carb, and a million combinations inbetween. Having said that, you dont have to do low or high anything. Find what works for you, and stick with that. Some people don't even pay attention to their macros and concentrate solely on their calories.

    Get used to counting calories, and once you're in a good routine then move on to tweaking your macros *if you need too. MFP's numbers may be perfect for you. I was here for over 12mths before i started focusing more on my macros, i had them set to the default up until then.
