Macro and calorie intake after weight loss?

Hahahaha I loved your response the most!!
Thanks for the help! May I add you?Even though your calories and macro percentages would go up when you log 50% of your workouts (remember a weight lifting programme should be logged as 1 calorie if you're going to log it) it looks to me like your protein and fats are already at a minimum level so I wouldn't worry so much about the macro breakdown
Protein at 0.64-0.82g per lb bodyweight as a minimum ...yours looks closer to 1 ...that's cool
Fat at 0.35g per lb bodyweight as a minimum
MFP give you your defecit without purposeful exercise, when you workout you use more energy (calories) so should eat them back (I double click on the calories when logging and only add half suggested...no point in mental gymnastics )
The answer is clearly a nice dish of ice cream

Tes, in trying to lean out my body fat at 203 was 22%. I wanna go down to like a 17 % and work from there. I don't eat a lot of carbs, tho. I typically eat around 130g a day ...Your objective would be to preserve LBM as you cut fat right
The higher your net defecit the more LBM you lose within each lb of weight loss
First couple of weeks a lot of water weight gone ...particularly if you've cut your carbs down
You're aiming for fat
