I'm a 22 year old roughly 83kg male cutting weight at the moment. I'm using this app and intermittent fasting and somehow having less than 1500 calories a day without feeling starved. I'm tracking macros and usually hitting them or being 5-10g above or below the goals.
I'm wondering if having such a low caloric i take is bad even if I'm hitting macros goals? I don't mind having to eat a bit more but I'm just fine working out 4-7 days a week and keeping this diet to burn fat and keep/gain muscle.
I'm new to this nutrition business but just want to cut body fat and then clean bulk once I'm happy with my body.

Thanks.

    Your calorie goal is too low.

    Use this calculator to get an appropriate goal: http://iifym.com/iifym-calculator/

    Don't log your exercise calories burned on MFP when you use that calculator or you'll be double counting exercise.

    Make sure your are getting appropriate levels of vitamins and minerals as well as the macros. If you are not reaching some of those goals you can use those extra calories to get there with fruits, vegetables or other nutritiously dense foods.
