Ty. I track everything I eat to the grams with cronometer. The only dubious part there is things like egg or banana where I just put medium instead of measuring.

I even adjusted my protein need to my already lower weight.

So it's probably the burning part. I use apple watch but not wearing it for little walks usually also maybe I underestimate my box trainings.

So when would my body use protein for energy? Above a certain deficit? Or it's more like I need to cover x amount of calories from carbs to avoid that.

I only thought about calorie deficit, and I think it's under 1000 per day as I don't see more than 2 pounds per week weight loss.

So maybe I need certain amount of carbs per let's say 500 calories burned via exercise? No matter the deficit?

Thanks.still trying to understand this topic. And the closer to 10% I get the more important this will be.
