makes sense.. iam 183 and 66kg so at 2000kcal is way close to my bmr.. and i usually just do calisthenics or go for a run everyday so if i set up higher than 1500 i think i could be eating in maintenaince considering error margin


but tbh.. set a range and follow it

yeah i think 2k would be your sedentary maintenance. you’d still lose since your tdee is likely higher since you run and calisthenics. would be a smaller deficit like 500 a day tho.

Basically PSFM (protein sparing modified fast) meaning most of your calories from protein and very little fat and carb like sub 20g?

Didn’t you have a binge eating problem? i saw an old thread.

yeah but i have abt 1 gram of caffeine spread throughout the day and i vape during them aswell and it kills my appetite but its always short lived because i gain it all back in no time since i dont stick to them long enough to lose enough

Too little is not good for your mental health 'shock' is not that good... Calc shows my maintenance at 1850 or something, when full on gym mode 2000 would be even good and deficit more than 500..
Basically 500-1000 under is optimal hmm
 
legit 1400 or so, til the end of the month
gottaa get to 10-12% bf no matter what
