    You haven’t mentioned if you’re male or female. But your height is shorter than a typical adult, so you might be right.

    You might want to put your stats into this calculator and see what you think about it.

    Minor correction: macros refers to the type of food eaten, whether protein, carbohydrate or fat. You were talking about calories.

    In addition to male/female and height, body weight is the single biggest factor in most calculators trying to determine how many calories to eat.
