Here's the situation. I'm female in my early 20s, 161cm tall last time I was at the doctor's. My starting weight was 176.6lbs and is currently 170.0. (It was 169.0 yesterday, like if you cry every time...)
I'm afraid I'm worse than sedentary. My current situation is that I'm not working (right now, hope that changes soon) and I'm not really in a position to be leaving my room to exercise because of a nasty home situation. I occasionally go out to get groceries. My room has about one metre wide and 2.5 metres long to do exercise in, and even then you have to be wary of hitting your shin or elbow on a desk or cupboard...it's not something I'm willing to do, and I'm afraid I can't consistently go out until I get a job or my home situation changes. I mostly spend time lying around or at my desk.
So for the 2 weeks or so I've been logging calories I haven't gone above 1100kcal, I've averaged at about 750 or 800. My plan was to up it to 1200-1400 once I got out of obesity, which I did fairly quickly. But I've also looked at my nutritional information and it looks like if I eat my staple foods every day, I seem to hit pretty much every nutritional requirement, except maybe amino acids, which I have no idea about. I was afraid of gallstones for some time but it looks like my weight loss has slowed down to a normal rate. And judging by my cron-o-meter stats, if I stick to this I'm not likely to have my hair fall out anytime soon.
So, I'm wondering if there's any compelling reason for me to increase my calorie intake until my life changes. I'll go to a dietitian before I make any actual serious plans, of course, but for now, casually, I'd like to throw it to the crowd and see what they think, just out of curiousity. (Edit: Turns out dietitians are not covered by my health insurance. So, uh, I'll do my best without!) My OP meal is mushrooms, broccoli, and a bit of kale sauteed in a teaspoon of avocado oil, 4 vegetarian sausages, 2 cups of 3.25% milk, a vitamin D supplement, and a dark chocolate piece, for a treat.

Otherwise I'd have stuck with a full-soylent diet, which is what I just came off of two years of. But this is my staple diet I'd have several times a week. It's very close to exactly 40 carb:30 protein:30 lipids, too.
Interested to hear your thoughts. I'm pretty proud that I've gone from eating absolute garbage to sticking to this for a bit. This community is the friendliest and most supportive I've ever seen on reddit and has been so valuable for me. Please don't roast me too hard, haha...
