You have to give it time when drop cals. At least 2 weeks between drops. The worst thing you can do is drop too much too fast. It messes up your metabolism.
Under 1000cals is not good. That is not enough to support your daily bodily function.
My suggestion to you would be to aim for around 2200cals and get back to doing your cardio. For your macros you need at least 1g protien per lb of lean body mass.
Your 5’10" @ 250lbs and lets say 20%bf so lets say your LBM is 175.
Protien= 1x175lbs =175g (700cals) This is minimum
Fats= .3x 175lbs =52.5g fats (472cals)
So now we are at 1172cals. You can fill the rest in with carbs to hit your calorie goal.
If you like low carb we can switch this up a bit.
We can also talk about training days vs non training days.
Can you start logging foods/wo’s daily?
Here is a link to my log if you want to see how I structure hit.
