I'm 5'9 and 218lbs, should I be trying to get 220G

I was in your exact same situation a year ago. I've now reached my goal. My advice? Eat a lot less, and eat healthier. That's it. Eat chicken if you want protein, but the biggest thing I learned was just to not eat as much as I was.

If you have little muscle you should probably be aiming for 70% of what you should weigh.

Never been fat but, I do hear that fat people are strong from wearing themselves 24/7

~1g of protein per pound of LEAN body mass. ~120g should be sufficient for you.

Yeah I'm eating 1500 calories a day, just trying to get my protein in such little calories

Don't eat at that huge of a deficit. If you want to look good after you lose all the weight, only cut your calories by like 200 or 300. You'll end up losing way too much muscle otherwise. Don't do what I did. You'll look skinnyfat otherwise.

Shit, is that how that works? Cause now I'm 181 and skinny fat. How do I get my muscle back?

Dude 5'8 manlet here was 310 alittle over a year ago.
Salmon is great for lower calorie broteins. For dinner do baked seasonless salmon filets or any other fish really with abit of olive oil on top and some steamed veggies and quinoa or rice.
It's pretty great and when you get a date just grill the fish filets and add abit of lemon pepper and crushed pepper and make it look aesthetic will impress normie grils
You can make it brah

Right, I plan to up it to 1800 after a few weeks, clothes are extremely uncomfortable now so I want to lose weight fast.

Oh man I love salmon, if I had more money I'd eat it with every meal. I think tuna and chicken breast will have to do for me.>>42042245

I'm not too small muscle wise, got out of the army 2 years ago and ballooned up due to bad eating habits. Just trying to get back to where I was.

Subtract your body fat. So if you're at 25% body fat, 218 *. 75 = 163.5 grams.
