How do I cut calories, but keep my macros?

[Ghoro]

Hi, so for a few months now I have been working on cutting and so far I have gone down 30lb. However I have seem to just stop at 190lb for about 4 weeks and haven't changed. So I want to try dropping my calories just another 100 in hoping that will get things moving again. But going off of the thread stickied at the top called "Calculating Calorie Needs and Macronutrients" I'm already to low on all of my macros. As of right now I have been getting about 1800-1850 cals, 210-220 Protein, 50-60 fats and 130-160 carbs a day. So one easy way I am thinking I could drop my cals by 100 would be to stop taking olive oil 2 times a day and only take it 1 time, but then I would be only getting like 40 fats a day and I don't know if that's way to low.

Any ideas or help?
Thanks

Eat less carbs

Drop your carbs.

A big chunk of my daily calorific intake comes from breakfast. 500 calories, 100g of cereal and 200g of milk. 113.5grams of carbs right there. If I wanted to cut calories, my breakfast would take a hit. Take a look at yours.

bring down fat and carbs...fat can go as low as .35 per pound of bw

edit: nvm your fat is already low drop protein to 190 grams

Thanks for the help guys. Ok so I will drop my carbs a bit to get my cals to 1700.
So just wondering, but what's the lowest someone should really go down to with carbs?

Actually,I think you have room to decrease protein slightly, if you want to.

I second a drop in protein.

agreed.

Oh wow really, maybe drop protein a bit also? I was thinking that was the last thing I would drop lol. So like how low can I really go with protein? As well as the carbs if I feel like maybe dropping that a bit also?

You only need 1g of protein per pound of lean body mass. I tend to get a little more than that, as I find protein more filling.
