I’m a first time kitten parent (8 weeks old, 1.5 lbs) and I feed him 5 shiba kitten half trays every day which equals out to 210 cal per day. I think this is the right amount of calories for a cat his size and age, but he cries for food all the time. He has been on dewormer for 11 days and still is having diarrhea. Is this normal? Should I be free feeding him? I feel like if I do he will never stop eating. Thanks!!!

I’m a 5’5 22 yo woman and started journey at 143lbs on may 22. I’m now at 138 lbs and eating 1550 cal per day (watching macros, min 100 gram protein per day) and walking abt 30min-1 hr per day. I want to make sure this deficit isn’t too low, as I’m worried my body will enter starvation mode and store fat instead of lose it. According to Mayo Clinic, my maintenance is between 1950 and 2150. I’m thinking about going up to 1600-1700 a day, but don’t want to slow my progress. My goal is long term change, not just a quick fix.
