Hi... I am morbidly obese. I have set my weight loss goal to 1lb a week.. I am allowed to consume 1750 calories per day.. my question is, should I focus on the calories or macros OR BOTH... can I just forcus on the calories alone and still lose weight? I don’t do well on a very low carb diet..

    Yes you can just focus on calories.

    Macros will matter for satiety - protein makes a lot of people feel full (and it's good to help maintain muscle as you diet), some people are satisfied with higher fat lower carb, others will prefer higher carb lower fat (but I'd suggest aiming for at least the recommended fat for your health). You do you!
