That is insanely low, especially if you are excercising. Most "cuts" sit around 1000-1200. So unless your doctor recommended that number I'd recommend bumping it up a bit. Which I know may seem weird, but if you want to keep that weight from coming back, this will be a lifestyle.

Because of a change in lifestyle you are gonna shed some weight quickly at the start, it will slow down after you get used to this, don't let that discourage you. 0.5 lb a week would be a good rate to lose weight.

protein/carbs/fat are the other three big macronutrients, "macros", that your body takes in. Crono is asking if you are also recording those as well, which you definitely should be.


I'm not gonna say I know more than your doctor, but you are probably "okay" weight wise. I'm not saying don't take this seriously, or don't worry about your body; but don't rush losing weight, its something that happens in a very predictable manner if you know what you are doing, and since you are thinking about this at such a young age you are off to a phenomenal start.
