Do macros really matter outside of protein while in a 500 deficit?

Reading bb.com has me confused. Typical day is roughly:

Cals Carbs Fat Pro
1,905 102 62 190

Anything generally wrong with that?

I Been Taken A Meal Replacement Shake Once (Sometimes Twice) A Day Cuz I Just Dont Eat Enough And If I Force Myself To Eat Something I'll Go Off The Deep End. I Know Some People Are So Pro Food They Dont fukk With Them But IDGAF It Helps Me, Plus I Feel 10 Times Better When I Have One For Breakfast. Oh Yeah, Water No Milk.

The Taste Of This Is Pretty Damn Good

So I got a BEI test at my local YMCA to keep up with the progress and it looks like from 3/12-4/12, I dropped 3 lbs from my body fat mass while adding 2.2 lbs to my lean body mass, and my BF% dropped from 18.7 to 17.2, so that's cool. My weight pretty much stayed the same, 185.8 to 185 lbs. Hoping I can get to/close to 12% by the end of July.

Reading this shyt, it's time for me to lose my gut and man t*ts. It's too late to get that summer body, but fukk it, always prep for the next year. Graduate college next may, so I wanna drop from 270+ to 200 - 210

A couple questions for the fitness gurus out there, using a calorie calculator I found on here. I entered in all my shyt and it says for me to lose weight, I gotta eat between 2200 - 2400 calories a day to lose weight, :wtf: that's more than I eat now. Should I cut that number down to around 1800 a day or use what they gave me and work out 3 times a week.

With the SL5x5, is there an alternate to squats I can do, cause I fukked my knees up bad and can't go as low as people say you're suppose to go?

really late reply but it might help people

I had messed up knees

Do front squats it'll take some pressure off, get some to knee bands from amazon too

if you have bad knees this are a must have, these things supported my knees while I did lighter squats and was able to build leg muscle and recover

Breh I have a question.

A few months back you helped me calculate my calorie intake.

2644 for maintenance

2144 MAXIMUM for cutting calories

I just purchased a stationary bike and to aid in burning calories. I lift and use my medicine ball(for a relatively strong core workout). The bike will make me burn a lot more calories than before...

My question is as long as I'm maintaining my workout and hitting my protein numbers(you recommended 170 grams per day), is it okay to go HARD with the calorie burning, or is burning TOO many calories a bad thing?

I know this might seem like a dumb question, but I really don't know much about the science of fat burning and muscle building outside of what this thread has taught me.

Thanks.

To play it safe and not worry about workout the individuals workout inconsistencies right?

I'm just tryna make sure if I maintain my proteins, continue working out, but have a 1700 calorie intake per-day rather than the usual 2100 due to lifting that I'll be aight breh.
