Hitting your numbers.

Having trouble hitting my numbers. For instance it's 6:30pm and I still have 98g of protein I need to have. Doing this to lose weight. Is it ok to no hit your numbers everyday? I feel like going over the numbers would interrupt the weight loss but going under would be ok?!?!

Hitting your calories is first and foremost in losing weight. Macros comes next.3

Wouldn't you lose more weight if you don't eat as many calories?0

That's true, BUT..depending on how many calories you are eating a day, undereating usually will increase the chance of you binging later.
With that said, not hitting your numbers here and there is not a big deal. We all have days that are not that hungry.1 -
For 100 calories you can have a can of tuna to add some protein to your total. I add black pepper to my tuna to achieve a basic level of palatability for me.0

For protein a good method is Whey Protein Bars/Shakes - they tend to be heavy calorie wise, however they also help you feel full so you don't feel the need for that extra bit of caloric intake. I get to within 20g or so of my recommended MFP protein intake with just 1 protein shake and 1 protein bar in my day (40g of protein for the 2), when you add that to the food consumed through a day it makes getting the protein intake much easier. I rarely hit the 120 or so grams MFP recommends, but I generally hit my calorie mark at least. Or add some chick peas (1cup = 12g of protein), or salmon/meat to your meal plans.0
