              Haven't noticed any benefits myself but I just take Zinc supplements.

              7$ for a bottle of 60x 30mg Zinc tablets and you can cut them in half if you get the rest through diet.

          supposedly if you only do zinc every day you can deplete your copper and get permanent nerve damage/paralyzed/death
          supposedly you should sup copper all by itself with no other vitamins all alone on it's own copper day every once in a while because zinc and iron and vitamin C wont let copper absorb supposedly.
          should be zinc picolinate and copper glycinate otherwise it might not absorb as good or at all depending on what kind it is.

          I am not a doctor. This is not advice.

            Do cardio each day and you'll get to eat more than that paltry amount of food. Getting everything in at 1900kcal is seriously difficult to try and accomplish

              Just eat chicken breast and beans

              chicken breast is expensive, but I could add beans
              which are the best nutritionally?

                You can also eat cheaper parts of the chicken, but maybe not the best for your low calory diet since the legs have more fat.
                I think black beans are good and it's what I eat the most often

                You can go more often than that for both lifting and cardio. You won't kill your gains. I promise

                Dried beans are top 5 cheap protein sources. Best ones nutritionally at a normal grocery store are chickpeas and black beans

            Here, less than 900 calories, Vitamin D is of course to be supplemented. This is of course on meme diet level, but if you can fill in all the bars with 900 calories it can be easily done with 1500 calories, just use these or similar products.

              you have the app just look and see how little they fill up the bars
              when cutting you should stick to berries and juicy fruit
              i don't know why your eating at 1500cal when the recommended minimum for a male (non lifting) is 1800cal

              if i were you i'd do more cardio and raise your limit
              should definitely add in some of the foods mentioned, even if you have to swap them around on different days

              picrelated is what i eat, a lot of the calories are just filler shit to reach macros

      get MOGGED

      eggs, red meat, liver, fish and spinach/kale are all very nutrient dense

      idoine, selenium, biotin from eggs
      vit E, K, manganese, magnesium, iron, copper, potassium all from spinach/kale
      take a magnesium supplement, it's hard to get from diet
      should incorporate a small amount of lean red meat

      you should read the vertical diet its amazing for micronutrients
      https://www.studocu.com/en-us/document/the-pennsylvania-state-university/careers-in-nutrition/the-vertical-diet-and-peak-performance-3/18980427
      its much more geared towards bulking but is still a good diet backbone

      I'm doing 30m of LISS (6-10km an hour) 2x a week
      How much cardio should I be doing?

      i do that every day man and im bulking

      Here's my diet now
      I really don't want to go above 1600 calories

      oats, apple and banana
      oats also contain phytic acid which blocks nutrient absorption.
      soak them with 2 tsp apple vinegar cider to remove acid

      I've heard that if you eat it every day you get sick

      you can have it once a week or a tiny bit everyday

              you should still do more cardio so you can eat more
              also add in weightlifting to the equation on cronometer it'll add more room too

                buy it in bags of leafs don't get the stems
                cooking spinach reduces how much oxalate it has, some people get kidney stones from too much

                i just put it in instant pot or cook in a pot on stove with mince
                you can blend it if you really want, just google it
