    Why are you cutting? Sounds like you should be bulking or recomping. 1000 calorie deficit for your size is too aggressive.

    For macro: Protein: .85 to 1 gram of protein per pound of body-weight. Fat: .35 to .45 grams per pound and the reminder in carbs.

    No & no. You're young and primed for muscle growth, use that to your advantage. Also too aggressive of a deficit will likely lead to more muscle loss.
