    Hi sorry for the late reply so basically as I was saying I think you should bump your calories back up to 1600-1700 calories a day you and literally do not change them calories for at least 2 weeks and do not worry about scale weight going up in that time honestly trust the process. Reason I say this is take your weight daily and then the average at the end of the week then obviously the following week then see how much you have lost/Gained and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have gained. I would aim for around 150P/180C/35F if you said you like high protein. That would work out at around 1635 calories. Just see how that goes for two weeks then you can easily bring some of them numbers down preferably from protein then carbs but like I said 2 weeks first then see how much was lost on them averages. 3-4 litres a day of water will be fine. Eat foods you like like to at least once a day if not twice. I love cereal so have it daily with Greek yoghurt and peanut butter because I like it. It helps to keep you dieting for a prolonged period of time. I'm not saying the other meals you won't like but they would be more micronutrient dense than anything else. Fruit and veggies too.

    So a few tips see weight loss as having a tool box and really to do a good job you need lots of different tools. With calories being so low you already took some of them tools away. Bump them calories up and get your water intake right. Aim for 7 hours sleep a night and keep stress levels low. Hit all that then we could do a few cardio sessions a week to put you further into a calorie deficit then reduce food slightly then implement more cardio and so on the longer your in a deficit the more tools you need to pull out the bag if that makes sense? Also try and aim for 10000 steps a day that will help with your neat calories burnt.

    Maybe also when it becomes that time of the month you could have high carb and low carb days to help with feeling rubbish or cravings etc but if you have no issues with cravings or anything around that time i wouldn't change that unless you thought that would be better for you anyway.

    Sorry for that complete essay but hopefully that will help you somewhat. Thanks.

    Omg thank you for typing that all out! Haha I will definitely take that into consideration, I've already updated my app to take in more calories and I feel much better today energy wise.
