I'm running out of Macros but have calories left.

If you're still under calories but over in all your macros, then something is off.

However, macros don't matter as much to weight loss than calories do. Calorie deficit to lose weight, macros for nutrition.

Going over 10g of protein isn't a big deal, especially if you use the MFP default which is quite low anyways.

Today I'm over 10 gr. on my protein but I still have 246 calories left. I've been noticing this happening regularly. Sometimes I hit my carbs and protein for the day but still have calories left over. My weight loss has been going really well, hopefully I've been eating enough. Should I continue to consume the calories even though I'll go over on my macro's? I'm on 1200 calorie's a day.

1. It's okay to go over on any of your macros as long as you feel okay and don't have any special medical needs.

2. If you're over on both carbs & protein then you must be under on fats (as long as you're using correct entries). If you want to hit your macro goals, then add in more fat sources. More oils, nuts, cheese, whole milk, less lean meats, avocado, etc.

A high likelihood is a database entry with incorrect or non exact macros. Often (protein + carb) * 4 + fats * 9 do not equal total calories for many entries.

In some cases this is "justified" and a question of "interpreting" how to count fiber grams.

In other situations it is just egregiously incorrect entries.

Over the past few years I've had a good ~5%+ non match between macro calories and official calories.

It did not prevent weight loss

In addition to what others have said - alcohol. If you've consumed alcohol, it will add to your calorie total but not show up in macro totals (alcohol is a distinct macro, but not tracked by MFP).

Most common reasons for macro / calorie inconsistencies: (1) bad database entries; (2) alcohol; and (3) rounding errors.
