What are some recommendations for foods/recipes/meals that support recovery from burnout?

Extremely burnout, didn’t sleep well and eat properly for years, irregular sleep schedule disrupted by what I’m guessing are cortisol spikes (sometimes I go to sleep early and my stress/anxiety wakes me up anyway). Wanting to eat well and support myself nutritionally while I recover. What are some recommendations?

Calorie deficit help? 17M

2 Upvotes

For starters, I’m a 17 year old male, around 5’6 and 220lbs. I work as a cashier at walmart but I’m part time so hours range from 18-30 ish hours a week and thats where majority of my activity comes from. I plan on increasing my activity, but out of the 2 gyms in my area only 1 allows 17 year olds and both require 1 year contracts which I’m not comfortable with.

Right now my calorie tracker (MacrosFirst) is calculating me at 2200 calories a day to lose weight, my weight goal being 160-180. Is this a good goal, or would I be better off aiming lower?

I’m trying to lose weight because I was diagnosed with fatty liver, and my doctors told us I have signs of chirrosis in my liver too which we have an appointment for next week. Adding this detail just incase that affects what my intake goal should be.
