Calories win. You can eat less and lose weight just fine.

If you're following a specific program that prescribes macros, then it might be important to follow them for long term success.

If your goal is to retain or add muscle mass, then passing on the protein for fruit might not be a good idea.

I'm confused on the force feeding. Do you mean eating more calories than you think you should, merely to get the macros right? If that's the case, it's not right. If you need to get your P ratio up, you eat less of the other macros.
