I've gained 2kg, not lost it.
"macros" are food. You can't both be "on top of" your macros and not eat less if the appropriate amount to eat to lose weight is less than what you are currently eating.
Oh you said lost -2kgs. Hmmm tricky then. I'll rephrase what I meant. My dietitian told me that I can still eat plenty of food but need to be mindful of the carbs / fat content (now obviously YMMV). There's so many recipes on YouTube of a large meal with a surprisingly low calorific content. Its just tricky finding them.

He has some fantastic recipes in there - especially the Udon noods ones. They're plentiful and I often eat only half the portion cuz I'm so full.
