    The reason you don't want to go too low on calories is that it will be harder to stick to, may lead to low energy, will result in losing more muscle, may compromise your nutritional goals, and can even harm your health (gall stones, hair loss, etc). You'll lose weight if you go very low, but is it worth it?

    It DOES matter if you eat too little, but not because it won't result in weight loss.

    This^

    Too low calories is very taxing on the body. I wish that all weight loss = just fat loss. But it doesn't. We do have to be a little careful. Macros (protein, fat, and carbs) matter for health reasons. I don't track carbs (no medical issues) but I try to meet protein & fat goals. You don't have to be obsessive about it, just aim for well rounded meals.....and you'll kind of gravitate towards your goals.

    But you're here, after a few attempts, so it would seem the "old fashioned way" doesn't work for you.
