Am I eating too few calories while cutting?
tdee and fat macros??
Im 17, 5' 11" at 144lbs 14-16% Bf, just looking for opinions for what i should be eating to bulk lean, atm i'm doing 2500-2800 on training days, and maybe 2200 on rest? Is this too much for lean muscle gain, i want as low fat gain as possible, so is this sufficient? Also, macros... How much fat should i be taking in, because atm im thinking im taking in too much, around 100g or so, my other macros are 135g protein, and 270g of carbs on average, is this a good split? Should i try and increase carbs instead of fat, i know my protein intake is fairly sufficient.

Meal plan ideas
looking for inexpensive meal plan ideas, I have lived an unhealthy lifestyle with poor choices when it comes to meals. I started hitting the gym frequently lately and just looking into shredding weight because I heard 80% of weight loss is nutrition.

Am I eating too few calories while cutting?
I got tired of weighing 205 lbs. at 5'7" so I started getting my diet right at the end of January. I started using MFP and going to the gym at the end of February and since January 28th I have cut down to 177 lbs but it seems like my progress has slowed a bit since then. I am still being very meticulous about measuring my food and I am consistently eating between 950 - 1050 calories per day. My question is, is that too sharp of a cut. MFP recommends I eat 1500 per day to lose 2 lbs. per week. I have been going to the gym five days a week, doing SL M W F with some cardio after lifting and doing cardio only on T Th. I feel good, not tired at all. Getting plenty of sleep. Tl;dr version: am I harming myself by only eating 1000 calories / day even though I still feel good?
EDIT: forgot to add that the only lift I have struggled on so far is OHP which I understand a lot of people struggle with. I stalled for the first time this past Wednesday at 65lbs. All of my other lifts have progressed and felt just fine.

Should I take a break from working out?
I have always been fairly skinny but I have been able to add some weight since I have been lifting and trying to eat enough. However, I am a college student so there are times when I just do not have money to eat as much as I should. The past few days I have only been taking in ~800 calories. As expected my workouts kill me. Should I be laying off the gym until I can afford to eat more? Thanks for any advice!

Redditors who have gotten fit and your spouse is obese, how has it affected your life?
I've gotten in good shape and fitness is now firmly a part of my regular routine. On the other hand, my wife is teetering on the morbid obesity limit and has no interest in fitness. We both started out as completely average many years ago.
It doesn't feel like a serious incompatibility issue but yet I never see couples like us and don't know any within our group of friends/acquaintances. So are any of you in a committed relationship with someone that is obese? Have any of you left a relationship because you got fit and they didn't?
