I Want Abs

19
5'5
140
exercise at least 1 hr per day
idk body fat jiggly? lol

Ok, based on those numbers,
Your BMR is ~1400/day
Your TDEE is ~2050/day
So if you are going for trying to burn off some fat, you going to want to do around 1600 - 1650 calories/day
Calculating things for 0.8 gr of protein will be:
Protein == 112gr / day (now obviously if you do 1.0 gr/day it will be 140 gr/day)
Fat == ~55 gr / day
Carbs == 170 - 175gr / day <- these you can go up or down with as they are not essential.
That will get you around 1650 calories/ day

So protein and carbs are 1gr == 4 calories
Fat 1gr == 9 calories

You will want to track things for at least 3 - 4 weeks to see if you are trending in the right direction
Then tweak your numbers if you need too at that time.....

thanks. very scientific. i'll work on getting more protein. right now i'm lucky if I get 60g per day.

Welcome

You need more than 60 gr, especially if you are going to start weight lifting....
As mentioned, while in caloric deficit, building muscle will not happen.....which is fine.
That is not our goal here.
But working out and lifting will help the muscle you have develop and help you get stronger.
Which will require more calories when you are at rest.
So the adequate amount of protein will help protect the muscle you do have, from being used as an energy source....your body will pull some energy from the muscle......but it will be a lot less if you are consuming the needed protein and you are actually using them ((meaning lifting weights)
