    just counting macros, not counting kcal

    If I calculate my daily kcal requirement and my daily macros intake, then do I need to seperately calculate kcals every day

    or

    can I just precisely hit all my macros for a day and dont bother with counting kcals?

    well, if you're counting macros...then you intuitively know total cals. tdee is given in total cals, so i would take the extra step and convert it, just to be sure

    Macros = calories in the end

    Isn't fiber counted as carb?

    If you eat a lot of veggies, probably you can have something like 100-200 kcal less, nothing really serious to worry about if you are consistent

    not exactly.

    many products' macros are differing from their kcal

    I didn't say anything about that, i am just focusing on hitting the targeted numbers (well, with some delta maybe) instead of just minimum protein/fat and then go only by a calorie content.
    That being said, i just don't have a caloric counter on my excel spreadsheet with my nutrition log. Why bother with it if you know that your macros will provide the exact amount of calories?

    i think what we have here is the equivalent of person A using pi*d to find the circumference of a circle and person B using Pi*2*r
