AIBU for thinking these calories are way too low?

Hi everyone,

I’m 76kg 180cm Strength training 4x per week + 12,000 steps daily.
I have been strength training consistently for two years. I recently consulted a personal trainer for fat loss, and she suggested a target of 1,500 calories per day.

I am feeling a bit concerned because the only time I have previously eaten at this level was years ago, when I was significantly less active and not involved in strength training.

AIBU to think these are low for my height and activity? Should I bring it up to my PT or just try to stick to it?

Ive attached an image of my current physique for reference.

But you have no fat to lose…you look good. You must know this?

Not sure where the fat that you want to lose is...
