I am a 5’7 female and 140 pounds. I’ve been eating 1800.

I go to the gym and weight train 5x a week. PPLRULR is my split. I started out eating 1800 calories but I’m always hungry. Even after eating nutritious meals high in protein and fiber. (I ate 6oz of turkey, 4oz green beans, banana, and 8 oz of chicken noodle soup). I’m starting to think my maintenance calories have gotten higher. I have also lost~3lbs, but that’s not my goal, I’m trying to body recomp. Granted, I do see muscle growth but I’m super tired some days at the gym. I’m getting enough sleep also. I need advice
