By the time i hit my protein and fat i still have calories left and carbs so im not sure if I should go over my macros to hit my calories.. and im not including my burn calories.

It's fine to go over your macros, and not a good plan to routinely be under your calorie goal by lots.

Many of us consider the protein and fat goals as minimums (try to at least hit them, OK to go over), and don't worry so much about carbs. (Protein and fats are essential nutrients, i.e., your body needs them as intake because it can't manufacture them itself. If you are under on carbs, your body can use other macros to substitute. That's not to say carbs are bad, it's just saying they're lower in importance to get all of.) But macros are for health, satiation and body composition: Calories are what count for weight loss.

Being lots under your calorie goal every day tends to lead long term to underfueling your body, so fatigue, thus more resting & less movement in daily life, and therefore a slightly reduced calorie burn from the reduced daily-life activity. Underfueling can also affect exercise performance, and reduce calories burned there, too. That's counter-productive for weight loss, and for overall life happiness, so it's a good plan to eat up pretty close to calorie goal most days. Also, sometimes under-eating can trigger a binge later, which isn't helpful either.

o, try to get close to your calorie goal most days, and don't overly obsess about being exact on macros. Close on macros is plenty good enough.

If your daily goal is given as 1270 then it's 1270 + exercise calories on days when you do exercise.

There's no problem in going over on individual macros while staying withing your calorie limit, you don't have to make losing weight harder than it already is.
