Always over my allotted fat macros

Are you able to stay within your calorie goal even when your fat macro goes over? If so, I'd say don't worry about it.

Both protein and fats contain "essential nutrients" in the sense that our bodies can't manufacture them out of any other intake, so we need to eat a certain minimum of them. Nutritionally, carbs are more flexible. It's calories that are the direct determinant of body fat gain/loss.

Many of us (me included) think of protein and fat macro goals as minimums to meet or exceed. Quite a few people (not including me) find that they get enough fat without paying it a lot of attention, but need to make sure they get at least adequate protein.

Since carbs are more flexible, it's fine to use those to balance calorie level to whatever the fat/protein intake requires. Some people find that eating too few carbs tanks their energy level, so they may need to make sure they get a certain minimum. Other people find that carbs spike their appetite, so they do best if they eat fewer of them. Unless you have some need like that, you can let your fat be higher and carbs lower, if that helps you meet calorie goal.

If you'd like to identify protein sources with less fat, this would be a good resource:

It links to a spreadsheet that lists many, many foods in order by most protein for fewest calories. More protein in fewer calories inherently means things that tend to be lower in fat and higher in protein, since fat is calorie dense.

Best wishes!

I dont think I've ever been under my fat goal. But I'm still trying. Maybe some day I'll be able to answer.

I don't even look at the macro stuff. I just focus on CICO for maintenance...
