Team! Hope everyone is doing well. First off i'm excited for this program, my wife and I are really hoping to see some results. Currently we both like to run she runs about 2 to 3 miles every other day and I am running 5 miles every other day, and I usually get out and mountain bike on the weekends. In the past I have done Insanity and T25. I was most likely not eating correctly either way I did not see hardly any if any results during those programs. I was counting calories but not my macros.
Fast forward to now

These are the recommended calories and macros from the meal plan. Our question is for calorie deficiet are we supposed to subtract 600 calories off of this number? Prior to this I would eat 1,800 calories a day. As I lose weight do we constantly change the macros or should these be set to the weight I want to acheive? Im not concerned about the weight I just want to be fit looking. Currently I put in a lot of work and feel it is a waste of my time as I do not look nearly as fit as I feel I should. We are still running in the mornings and doing the program at night before dinner.
Thanks for any advice looking forward to crushing these workouts.
