You don't have a high metabolism. 2500-3000 isn't a lot. You may have a high tdee. Eat more fat.

I agree. I maintain at 3000 calories (which means I cut at 2500 at a 1 lb per week pace), and I am 33, 5'11 male at 175 lbs, desk job and exercise 5-6 hours a week.


So OP, depending your activity level and stats, you may have to eat over 3000 calories and join the majority of us.
