      Nothing at all. It's nearly impossible to hit each one perfectly every day. All that's required for weight loss is a calorie deficit. You can adjust the macros to suit you. Some do high fat, low fat, low carb and all points in between.

      Don't worry about it. As long as you are under calories you will be fine. I often go over fats.

      Just for clarification - you stayed under calories, but went over on fat, protein, AND carbs?

      There are inaccurate entries somewhere. Calories are made of fat, protein, and carbs (and alcohol, but for simplicities sake, I'll assume just the first three). If you are over on all three macros, you are over on calories. Unless the data for the entry was entered incorrectly. Double check entries used against USDA database.

      Or are you saying you stayed under calories, but went over fat, protein, OR carbs (or any two out of three of your macros)?

      That's fine. Expected, even. You won't hit all three "perfectly" every time. Carry on.

      No today I just went over my fats also yesterday

      daily calories should equal (C+P)*4+F*9 - but MFP does weird rounding things

      That's no problem then. Being over on one macro, but under on the others is pretty normal. It would be very difficult to hit all three exactly every day!

      When I was losing I never worried about anything but my calories and I did it just by counting calories and nothing else. Good Luck!

      You're still 2 grams below your fat limit today. It's sodium you went over. Drink some extra water. You're good.

      Macro just gives you a breakdown of what you have consumed. It only matters if it matters to you. For example, someone on a paleo diet, their fats are probably going to be much higher than standard recommended by mfp. but, you can adjust those figures to what every you want them to be.
