Worried my macros may be off

[Obsidian]

5'10" - 165lbs.

I just started a cut last week. My workday diet is as follows

*1.5 scoop whey w/ 1.5 cup milk 2% fat =8:00am

*Chicken Bowl (roughly 6oz - precooked weight- chicken and 10 oz Assorted Veggies) =11:00am

*Banana =1:30pm

* Chicken Bowl (roughly 6oz - precooked weight- chicken and 10 oz Assorted Veggies) =3:00pm
I plug this into Fitday and come up with,

985cal, 21.1fat 72.0carb 125.6pro

My question is...stupid I guess, but does this look mostly correct. The reason I am asking is because I am only putting down <1,000cal but I am completely stuffed. I am concerned because I have heard a lot of people on here talk about having to incorporate starchy carbs (oats, sweet potato, etc...) to stay full. Am I just fortunate (so far) or am I missing a piece?

Thanks for the help.

what are you trying to do? thats awfully low kcals

I am on a cut. Keep in mind though that is just my calories during the workday. I have two more meals and a snack usually after work.

Eating way to little.

Typical cut would be 10-12cals per pound of BW

I usually fall in the 1700 to 1900 per day range. I guess my question didn't come across well. My concern is that I feel full throughout the workday without adding any starchy carbs. Some folks on here have expressed the need for the starchy carbs to stay full. Am I doing something wrong or should I just consider myself lucky in regards to staying full?

You might want to look into a refeed, every so often.

What is your fat intake like with such low Carbs?

 

[Obsidian]

I refeed on Thursday and Sunday. I tend to keep my fat very low on those days while I have my carbs.

On a regular day, I usually do between 50g and 70g of fat. Try to hit around 160 - 180 g protein.

not enough fat if you're keeping your carbs low

Meal timings are not as important as everyone makes out. And besides that, you getting 1000cals during the day, before two more meals at night, this is completely fine. You could further reduce you cals during the day, which would allow you to eat more at night, if you felt more comfortable doing it this way.
