i started keto a few days ago. i'm ending up with left over calories by the time i hit my macronutrient cap. do i suck it up? also with veggies, i know that the reddit site says eat a lot of green leafy types, but am i still suppose to be counting those towards my carb cap?

You'll find most greens have anywhere from 50 to 75% of their carbs in fiber. Also, they're not calorically dense like starches and other foods so you could eat tons of it and most likely still be fine when it comes to net carbs.
My plan right now is to increase my carb intake with even more vegetables and especially fruits, but still try to keep it relatively low. There's no doubt keto works, even after only 3 weeks I can see a difference (though how of a difference would it be if I were in a high carb/low fat system I'm not sure).
But as I've voiced a couple times already, keto doesn't really seem to suit me mainly because I feel there's a dependency on dairy, which is what I believe has led to a rebirth of high school acne. It can also be a bit more expensive with attempting to get fattier cuts of meat, etc.

definitely the downside is the cost factor. its easy and cheap to get high protein low carb foods, but high protein + fat is going to get expensive for me

Sour cream man. Although I guess a 20:3 ratio isn't the greatest but...
But honestly, it could have been constipation as well. All those toxins sitting inside me couldn't have been good. I'm going to up my greens intake and try to offset the immense amount of fat just clogging my butthole.

First month or so on Keto really screws up your stool. The Acne thing is a real bummer, as it's pretty rare for Keto to make acne worse. Cutting dairy might help. Use coconut oil / nuts for fat sources and continue to rely on meat and vegetables until you're full.
But Keto isn't for everyone and if you don't want to continue that's cool.
