    Concern of lack of macro nutrients/calories

    Hi guys. So at the moment I am trying to lose fat/weight, I am making progress because I can see the difference when I look in the mirror everyday. I'm at a 400 - 700 calorie deficit depending on how much I eat.... My appetite tends to be wonky everyday, at times i'll be hungry all day, and other days I wont be hungry for the entire day. So what I'm trying to say is, I'm afraid that I'm lacking in macro nutrients because on some days I will only get up 1100 - 1500 calories and I'll be missing quite a few macros like my protein.. i'll be like 20g off my protein and have no fat etc... this only happens every now and then maybe... 2 times a week? Maybe even 3... Will this hurt me in the long run and my workout? Because I tend to go pretty hard in the gym. I'm just afraid that I will injure myself because of lack of nutrients and calories. Note: My deficit is suppose to be 2080 calories at the moment. I'm 5'10 at 164lbs. maybe around 12 - 14% bodyfat

    Example of 1 of my meals
    100g Chicken breast
    50g Avacado
    1cup Broccoli
    100g eggwhites
    189g egg creations = egg yolk sorta thing..
    1cup spinach
    Salsa I do not track this because I dont put much
    70g Oiko 2% greek yogurt

    Yes I like to eat big meals I'm quite use too it lol...

    My Drink I have with my meal after my workout
    1 scoop phase 8 White chocolate
    1tbsp flax seed
    1tbsp natural peanutbutter

    The protein shake only for 1 of my meals then I SOMETIMES take another one before bed.

    I hope I gave you guys enough information to give me an answer! Thanks in advance ya'll

    How would you have a day where you consume zero grams of fat?

    I don't understand your question? But here's an answer, become more consistent with hitting your macros. A 400-700 calorie deficit is not extreme, and i don't know what you mean about injuring yourself. The human body is quite resilient. I would however advise you to compose a rational diet that meets the minimum protein and fat requirements, and then fill the rest in with foods you like to eat that fit your macros. Again, become more consistent.

    I would try to be a little more consistent. Fats are very important but east to slack on. I started to a few months ago and it really slowed my fat loss.
