I am currently eating 1500 calories (just increased) I have my carbs set at 35% (131) my protein at 35% (131g) and my fats at 30% (50g). I work out 5-6 days a week. 3 days HITT CARDIO for 30 minutes on treadmill or outside. 2 days a week light jogging at 5.0 for 30 minutes. I do two days of legs and 1 day of arms. I am 5'5 and 166lbs. I worked out for 3 weeks with no weight loss therefore I was advised to increase my calories but I want to make sure my macros or on point so I'm not going backwards again!

I assume you meant "three weeks with no weight GAIN"

So then why did you increase your calories?

Because I wasn't losing weight at 1200 and I spoke with people that said as hard as I was working out my calories were too low and I was more than likely not losing weight because I was going into starvation mode! I didn't have any energy! It was actually a little less than 1200. I am trying to do this the best way so after I researched my TDEE myself it said u should be at 1500 to 1800 for weight lose!
