Help with macros

amandadunwoody · July 2015

I'm at 180 working towards 138ish as my goal. 5,1" 35 year old female. I'm doing strength training, calisthenics, walking, some aerobics... trying to stay active every day. I'm averaging about my 1500 calories and am losing slow but steady.
My question is, are the default macros on mfp what I should be aiming for? Should I adjust them? Recommendations?

0.6-0.8g of protein per lb of body mass
0.4-0.45g of fat per lb of body mass
fill rest of calories with carbs

Thanks, I definitely think I need to optimize my calories better. I know I won't really gain muscle in a deficit but I'm getting stronger and I don't want that to stop.
