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.Psych & handcuffs

Use my fitness pal op and you have a good idea if your hitting your daily goals or not.
One man has enthusiasm for 30 minutes, another for 30 days, but it is the man who has it for 30 years who makes a success of his life.
