    1200 cals is far too low!!

    ^^^This^^^ If you are exercising a lot, your net calories could be WAY too low if you have your macros set at 1200 cals. Essential fatty acids are exactly that---essential. A sufficient amount of fat is necessary to keep bodily processes going. And the more active you are, the more you need.

    I've now changed my goal to 1lb per week which has permitted a total of 1340 calories for non-exercising days and 1803 for exercising days which is definitely much more achievable than the original 1200. Thanks for your advice :)

    I am finding myself dramatically short in fat each day but it will probably take a while to get into the swing of things and purchase less calorie/higher fat foods.
