Am I Eating Enough?

I’m 31(m) and have never been particularly overweight until relatively recently. At the beginning of May, I weighed myself and was 193lbs. I’m 5’11 so technically overweight.

Anyway, I rejoined the gym and am currently counting all calories. I’m working out 5 days a week and according to my TDEE, my maintenance would be roughly 2700kcals.

However, I’m struggling to eat much more than 1400 a day, and I’m really having no issue with it. I’m not getting hungry, I’m not losing energy. I’m still hitting around 180g of protein, and I can’t see any negative side effects.

I’m down 5 pounds since I started, but I’m wondering if this is sustainable or if I’m going to hit a wall? Everyone I ask tells me I need to be eating way more, but I’m literally just not hungry.

Any advice?
