Great!!
First, you dont need to complete the sugar requirments. thats more of a maximum limit than a daily goal. Actually I find that limit to be way higher than necessary. As for completing carbs I personally have to eat an obsurd amount of carbs because thats just how my body works so I know how it can be difficult. I start my day early and start working on my carbs right away. I need to eat every 2 hours at least to try and get my requirements done so maybe reduce time between meals or add more meals into your day to get it done. As long as you meet your daily nutrition needs your good.

Your Food Diary For:
So heres the thing days about over im only at 1500 cal ive got carbs and some sugar left but honestly im not craving anything. Do i force something down for macros sake or just go good enough?However a second question is on workout days it adds calories for me like after a workout it gives me 500 more saying i can eat that, now so far ive just been like cool thats just extra fat loss but could i be under eating by not filling in that workout calorie bonus?
If your gaol is 2000 calories to lose weight, then hit that number if you can. Otherwise you're going to run into two problems.
First is that you're eating at such a deficit that you body will still adjust to that deficit at a normal rate, and then once you hit a plateau you'll have to go even LOWER than 1500 calories.
Second is that you're more likely to go into starvation mode if you simply aren't giving your body the fuel it needs, even to lose weight. Your body needs more than 2000 calories just to function if you aren't going to the gym or doing anything during the day. So you'll still be in a deficit and losing weight at 2000 calories. Plus, when you hit a plateau, you won't have to drop super super low on calories to keep losing weight.
Hope that helps!!
