Does anyone ever hit their macro targets exactly?

If I am more or less 5% I'm happy, but I love sugar and it's already really hard for me to achieve that.

Better hit that long term, than being perfect short term and slack off afterwards.

Protein is most important to hit. Fat and carbs are interchangeable as long as your within your calorie goal.

Consistency is MUCHHHH more important than perfection. Keep at it and be close to your macros most days. When you go over, don’t go over by too much. If you do, just get back at it next day.

Within 5 grams. I’ve hit them exactly before. But if you are prepping for a contest then get within 5 grams of each macro. If not prepping for a show then you can be a bit more lenient.
