Cannot maintain macro: Effect of maximizing specific macros
I am trying to maintain my nutrition at 1800 cal with the following macro ratios:

Carb: 40%
Fat: 30%
Protein: 30%

However, at the end of the day, it looks the like the follows:

Carb: 32.5%
Fat: 42.5%
Protein: 25%

My question is that in such a case, would higher carb or higher fat affect my body negatively (keeping the protein constant)?

So the answer is no, it won't impact you negatively in any possible imaginable way.

Why do you care so much about your macro nutrition ratio in the first place ? there's no real evidence that 10% or 15% more of this or that makes any difference on your health, it'd rater be more beneficial if you completely stop measuring your macros and actually begin measuring your micro nutrients, your water intake and sleep.

The only real difference you will get from macro nutrients is when you are trying to lose weight because higher protein makes you feel fuller so you eat less. Any other little benefit or side effect you get from playing around with your macros is purely personal and most likelly just placebo.
