QUESTION: Macros for Low Carb Moderate Fat

After putting in my information (weight, height, etc.) for my Macros I chose the Low Carb Moderate Fat at -35% deficiency. It totalled me at 1208 calories per day with 50g net carbs / 126 g of protein & 56 g of Fat per day.  So my question is what is most important to not go over. For instance I do know I need not to go over Or to stay below my daily net carbs. But what about mt daily calorie, fat or protein?  What I mean is yesterday I did a test run, I stayed below 50 g for my net carbs but was over on my daily calories of 1208 kcal but ended up eating a total of 1552 kcal. I also went over for my protien. I know I'm not going to always have a perfect day where I meet exactly at my suggested macros. But with that said I want to make sure I do not go over on what ever macro(s) is most important not to go over on besides the net carbs of course. Any suggestions, advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

    I focus on net carbs and net calories. I’m higher protein and moderate fat like you but I don’t stress over being over/under either of them. I eat enough protein to where I feel good (too much fat doesn’t make me feel optimal). I say NET calories bcz it’s not just about what I consume.  I rarely feel hungry but I eat till full.  I exercise almost daily and burn a lot so I’m generally coming under my net calorie goal.
