    Thank you to all that took the time to reply to my post. It is very much appreciated. With all the info on the internet things can be quite confusing and conflicting. Your advice is awesome.

    Please please correct me if I am wrong, but I take from this:
    1) It’s okay to be under calories sometimes
    2) I need to increase my protein - how many grams should I be eating? ( Really hate all the macro calculators I have tried and I have tried lots)
    3) Carbs target is all good
    4) Fat — Is this too high? Do I have to hit target to get a good weight loss or is this not necessary?

    Thanks again everyone for you help!

    1. Yes, it's ok to come under sometimes, just like it's ok to go over sometimes.
    2. I'd aim for 100 to 125g per day (it's a good place to start).
    3. Anything less than 50g is considered ketogenic (YMMV a bit)
    4. Just fill the rest of your day in with fat.
