    If you're in your calories, it's fine. Look at your weekly averages, too, and decide if you want the macros at the preset levels or something else. Somehow, over a week, I end up at the presets pretty much exactly.

    I don't track macros, makes things less stressful for me :)

    Don't care. It's all about the calories.

    I treat my fat and protein goals as minimums to go over rather than maximums to stay under. Going over my fat goal within reason is a good thing for me, personally.

    ^ This, exactly.

    It depends - I try to watch my fat, carb and sugar intake since my family is predisposed to high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes. However, take a look at where the fats and carbs/sugars are coming from. Are they fruits, vegetables and whole grains? Or are they oils?

    Fine. I go over on fat and protien most days. I just try to really watch sodium and carbs. All within my calories, of course.

    Answer: They are only fruits, vegis, whole grains and yes also oils (but only olive oil and coconut oil and milk) maybe some eggs and some fish.

    I keep an eye on saturated and trans fats and those are the fats I try not to go over on.

    It doesn't bother me in the slightest if I go over my fat goals, or protein for that matter. I see these more as minimums. I do get a little annoyed if I end up with more than 50% carbs though. Not the end of the world annoyed, just a shrug and I'll do better tomorrow annoyed.

    I don't have feelings about nutrients.

    Just like I feel about going over my daily protein or carb goal. Doesn't bother me at all if I'm happy with my food choices. I try to strike a certain balance because I've learned from experience what makes me a happier dieter, but sometimes to be a happier dieter I need to break my own rules. Flexibility is more important to my personal dieting process than any pre-set "it works" guidelines.
