I've been trying to figure this out..i lost my weight on 1500 calories a day and under for the past 3 months. Now I'm just trying to lose more fat and gain muscle.my tdee is 2077...i think starting at 10% below tdee which is 1870 calories, should be alright, right?..im scared to gain back my fat though lol..should I still be doing cardio?..if so, how much, how often?? How often should I be lifting?
what should my macros be?..ive been told 40%protein, 40%carbs, 20% fat..what do you think? With my macros set that way, it gives me a limit of 217 grams of carbs..does that seem high? I'm trying to get down to about 18% body fat. What routines and eating habits have you been following that help you out???
Any advice is welcome..I'm ready to get this going already!! Lol

With my macros set that way, it gives me a limit of 224 grams of carbs, 224 grams of protein and the rest fat..does that seem high? I'm trying to get down to about 18% body fat.
