It's been several years since I so intensely tracked calories, but I've been stuck behind a desk for the past two years, and it destroyed my body. I definitely became an Oreo vegan. I've been an erhical vegan for 6 years, and didn't have a problem with my weight until recently.
Last time I tracked calories like this I was doing keto, and maintaining macros was super easy – you can just eat protein & fat, or either.. I can't find the secret ingredient to balance my macros. Per meal, I'm either way over my carb or fat targets, and can't hit protein without either one. Fearful of going over, I stall & just not eat.
When I was maintaining, I had a very healthy – balanced diet, but I'm finding on a 1500/day cal restriction, I can't make up for meals lacking in any one macro/nutrient. I'm concerned I'll hit a metabolic stall accidentally doing 1200.
Any tips?

Can you explain what macros balance youre trying to reach and why?
Add tofu veggie scramble and snack on edamame
Look at where fats are coming from
But yeah make sure you hit that 1500 which sounds low but idk if you’re totally sedentary maybe it’s not
