Macronutrient ratio consistency

[Determined]

How important is consistency in macronutrient ratios throughout daily meals? Due to various logistical reasons, I often find the need to "compensate" for, say a high-carb meal with a high-protein one.

Not as important as you might think. I wouldn't worry too much about it. However, do not compromise on your meals immediately before and after your workout. These should never be without protein.

Thanks, Bryan. This simplifies things a bit.
