AIBU for thinking these calories are way too low?

[Chattyapple123]

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.

At 5'11" I would have guessed U were 66 kg not 76 kg.

This. Just tell them 1500 isn’t going to work and try 1700/1800 and reassess after a month.

Re body fat % there are calculators online where you put in your measurements, so you just need a measuring tape. Obviously they won’t be very accurate but will give you a bit of an idea
