Diet/Macros help

I have been through a lot of this myself. I too bought heaps of "healthy" foods with the best intentions, and ate readymeals instead.

First, as Jenni points out - eat more on the regular. Undereating will just make you overeat. Find a reasonable calorie intake to lose at a healthy rate, and stick to that.

Then, look at what you are eating, and why. Eating "healthy", or "bro type foods", as you call it, lol, very appropriately - that is the key to why you are struggling. Nobody can take boring foods for very long. (If you don't find it boring, that's one thing, but most people crave taste and variety.) We need a good mix of nutrients every day and through the week, and taste and nutrition go hand in hand, as long as it's real food.

There are no "macros for weight loss", but there are indeed "macros for sticking to calories". What they are, will be individual. But I would suggest you up your fat a lot and lower your protein dramatically. For instance, if you eat 2000 calories and split them between 125g protein, 175g carbs, 89g fat, you will most likely have no trouble composing tasty meals, feel full, satisfied and energetic, have no real cravings for junk, and lose weight at a rate of one pound per week at this stage, decreasing to half a pound per week as you get closer to goal weight and have less fat to metabolize and expend less because you are lighter.

You will need to organize your shopping and cooking differently. Start with what you want to eat, and tweak that into your calorie allotment. Look for recipes if you want to use recipes to make the meals you want. Then write shopping lists based on the ingredients you'll need for the meals you are going to make, and other meals you are going to eat. Remove items you already have at home, from the list. Take that list to the store and follow it. When at home, cook and eat. If you enjoyed it, plan to repeat. If it was a diasaster, plan to not repeat.
