Maybe not eating enough

I am 137 pounds and wanting to lose fat and gain muscle. I used the macro calculator and it said I should be eating atleast 2192grams Calories 219grams protein 191gramscarbs and 60grams. I know I have not been eating this much but does this sound right

Well first of you don't have to eat that much protein at your size. roughly go with 1g per lb of desired lean mass.

You can increase the carbs or the fats in no particular order. But 2k cals does sound right for someone active on a cut.

honestly sounds like a little too much to me, but that's just me...

FYI calories aren't measured in grams, they're just calories.
