Calorie intake

[orbitalfailure]

I’m 16 about 6’1-6’2 and down to like 145-150 ngl, eating prob 1600-1800 cals a day because I used to be pretty fat, still got a lil fat on me and I want to just be like skinny with a decent frame, don’t care for a lot of muscle mass but I don’t want to stop growing or anything, what should I do?

just eat like 200-300 calories under your maintenance. Don't cut too aggressively.
Focus on your nutrients. Make sure you get all your necessary proteins, carbs and fat in.
Bonus if you focus on the vitamins (mainly vitamin d), you can get this out your food or supplement it.

Idk what my maintenance really is and I don’t even count calories fr I just eat 3 low ish calorie meals but I still eat quite a bit of high cal stuff (eating out a lot, pancakes and stuff lol) and when at home I just try not to snack and eat 5-700 cal meals, I’m still losing weight tho so I feel like I may stunt my growth. But also I’d like to be leaner, idk what to do tbh.
