First timer, Who is Here to loose fat%, maintain the weight and get fit?!

I’m trying to find the healthiest way to get fit. From the research I made I should consume 1950 cals per day / 35%carbs 35%protein 30%fats... What’s the best workout to start looking fit? Weights and yoga? : )

A mixture of weights and cardio but in a personal blend to suit your fitness goals, aesthetic preferences and what you enjoy. Looking fit and being fit aren't necessarily the same thing!

Macro choices are very individual and varied as long as your overall diet meets your nutrition and calorie needs.
(Personally I dislike setting percentages and when I track my food much prefer setting minimum levels in grams to give far more flexibility.)

A few very informative threads you might enjoy.....

What's your reasoning for those macros? Protein looks unnecessarily high?

Depends what your definition of 'fit' is? To me it should include some cardio?

Thanks for the links and the info! And you are right, grams seems a bit more flexible : )
My goal is to lower my fat% and I also want to be more firm / fit ... at least that’s the “inmidiate goal” for 2019.
I went for macros because it seems easier for me to keep track , if there are other suggestions, please let me know : ) ... I’m so glad you brought up how high the protein ( I agree!) I was miss reading the calculations . I didn’t convert from kilograms to pounds... so!
Average of Carbs 260g / protein 120g/ fat 60g... cardio, weights and yoga ( I just started and I like it!)
I am always learning so I appreciate all suggestions!
