You should be consuming about 20% of your cals from healthy fats, this is very important for fat loss as well as general health. Although your meals are about right cal wise the macro's are important.
Do you know how many cals you are currently consuming ?

Hey Sorry, I should of said that I just started on this new calorie restriction. I am anywhere between that 1500 and 1700 calories give or take. I do not add condiments other than siracha and every once in a while a little cheese. ***not much cheese just a trickle***
Previous to this past week I was at 2000 calories a day. This is where I had hit the 217-219 mark. I figured that I needed to readjust my intake as my BMR probably had lowered. Seeing as it lowered to roughly 1900-2000 I cut it to 1500 calorie intake.
I do know that my fat intake is very low, I am not sure if it is affecting anything. I am not having trouble doing cardio and or really doing anything. Workouts are pretty hard and steady.
What would you suggest in particular?
180 grams of Protein
180 grams of Carbs
40 grams of Fat
that is at a 1800 calorie diet.
sounds like currently I am at about a
170 grams protein
170 grams carbs
20-30 gram fat maybe.
