so i (19F, 5’3) recently did a project for my ux class and decided it would be fun to count my macros for a week just for shits and gigs to see what would happen. ive been counting cals and trying to lose some weight for a while so i thought it would be a good way to get some health insights.
i then discovered im severely malnourished??!!
i’m not even kidding — one of the days i ate 1990 calories and got a grand total of 40g of protein. not great š
even for the rest of the week, i never even got above 10% of my calories as protein. apparently having airheads extremes for lunch and twizzlers for dinner wont do you too well health-wise
so now i’m trying to figure out macro goals and such to make sure i don’t literally die of lack of vitamins but literally every source i find is telling me something different. i can’t for the life of me tell if i’m supposed to be eating 60g of protein or 160g of protein.
right now, i’m eating around 1400 calories a day in a slight deficit just to go from 115lbs to 110lbs — nothing crazy. does anyone have any recommendations on macro goals for this kind of slight weight loss?? i keep seeing people recommending 1g of protein for every pound of body fat but i deadass do not see a world where i manage to eat 115 g of protein a day. i eat most of my meals in a college dining hall šš
any help would be seriously appreciated. again my stats are 5’3, 19 yo female who weighs around 115lbs.
