Not eating enough? I need help guys!

First of all, to put things in perspective, I'm currently at 90Kg weight right now. I was at 110kg originally and my target is set for 77Kg.
Thus, the target is to lose weight and gain muscle.
I need to know how much calories and what ratio of macros I need to go for. I'm 5'10" and 19 years old.
This was my workout for today:
10 Min warmup on treadmill at 8kmph and then 5 mins at 11kmph
Cocoon Crunches 2 Sets: 35+30 reps
Reverse grip lateral pulls: 35Kg X 11Reps and 40Kg X 12Reps
V Bar Pull Up: 10Kg X 12Reps, 10Kg X 6Reps and 10Kg X 6Reps
Wall Ball: 16Throws at 5Kg and 14Throws at 5Kg
Seated Cable Row: 20Kg X 12Reps and 25Kg X 12Reps
Chin Ups: 6Kg Weighted at 12 reps and two more sets of 6 reps at same weight
Reverse Push Ups: 30 Reps in first set then 31 in the second

According to the oft recommended scooby's calorie counter, I need to consume around 3000 calories if I wish to lose fat and gain muscle.

Keeping in mind my goals of gaining lots of muscle mass while losing the last 13Kg of predominantly fat I'd presume, is the calculated calorie limit too much. What should it be and what ratio for macros?

This is what happens to your English when you watch three back to back episodes of sleepy hollow.

3,000 seems a lot, your diary logging is a bit patchy - sometime zero protein in things that do have protein in them.

Oh I don't log my food at MFP. I just needed to know according to my activity level judging by the workout I posted and also that I'm 5'11"
Do not judge my food intake my my diary. I don't use it very regularly.

I'm currently eating around 1300 btw.

You log it where? Do you actually log it on another site or do you not log anything at all?

pkteen

I log it somewhere else. I do log.
But I will start logging here from tomorrow or at least try to. The problem is that I usually have to build my own recipes here in order to log because I'm in Pakistan at the moment and a lot of the food I eat here isn't on the MFP database.

3k cals is a lot if you are trying to lose weight, in fact you won't lose weight if you stick to this.

asking a site specifically built for logging food... about food advice... and then saying you don't log... is well. .. never mind.

anyway- 3000 is a lot- but at 19- you should be working out and eating a lot to get all the gain you can.

Eat higher calorie foods... protein shakes with milk- and ice cream are my go to end of the day "round out" meals.
pasta dishes are extremely calorie high as well.
Sushi- also can get pretty high calorie.
trail mix- super high calories- nommy!
avacado- good fats

some thoughts- i know my food goes through the roof with those things typically or can if I'm not measuring.

I think a double whopper and a small fry and a sprite is like 1400 calories? almost anyone can eat that. not that I'm saying go ham on fast food- because- well I persoanlly don't like it- but if you can't fill your food for the day- find higher calorie foods.

also just eat more often- i'm convinced body builders eat 8 + times a day- not because of that metabolism rubbish- but mostly because it's just so damn hard to eat 5-6000 calories a day if you try to do it in one sitting.

I have exactly the same feelings. I was eating around 1300 calories to lose the weight I've lost till now but ever since I started doing more resistance training than usual, I felt like I needed more because I felt like my muscles weren't recovering fast enough. I need to strike a balance between weight loss and muscle gain.
I'm thinking around the lines of 2000-2500 calories but I'm still asking this question because I'm sure there's a lot of people here with the same goal in same situation (more or less).

I definitely hear you on the logging there. I am going to make an effort to log here in the future. I need to add all of my recipes first.

I'm going to ask my nutritionist and post back in a few.

It's going to be 2000 cals per week with a 5X times a week of 90 minute gym time.
