When we go over our protein, how much over (or under) is ok?

When we go over our protein, how much over (or under) is ok? I’ve calculated my macros using the video and am supposed to eat 64g of protein per day. Today I had 4 ounces of leftover ribeye for lunch and I’ll be having tacos in Bibb lettuce for dinner. I’ll be over my protein, again.

@logan so going 5, maybe 10 over on a heavy day if I eat breakfast, is ok?

Dont use online calculators most go by your BMI, you want to feed you lean body mass not you fat body mass.
