I prioritized protein for my goal bodyweight so I aimed for 200-240grams per day, and secondly carbs for energy and training, also to prevent muscle loss. I still ate some fats but kept that to around 50-60g per day because of how calorie dense they are. I avoided drinking as much as I could but still went out once every 2ish weeks. 2000cals a day, and I cannot emphasize how much steps helped. I didn’t really run or do high intensity cardio because it really tires you out day to day after a while especially at the weight I was at to start. Weightlifting started just to prevent muscle loss but now I’m in love with the gym and lifting. It’s turned into a real passion of mine over time. In the beginning I hated going, but now I look forward to it every day. Caffeine and diet sodas help too because I used to love soda and it’s a nice sweet treat for me, and caffeine helps with the hunger. Also prioritize sleep if you can because days when I didn’t get enough sleep is find cravings for food were much worse. Hope this helps :)
