I am 5 ft 3 in, 135 lbs, and strength training 3 times a week. I come after a 120 lbs weight loss, which severely depressed my metabolism. I gradually increased calories, reaching 1250 per week, along with 135-140 g of protein and 38-42 g of fat. I am currently plateauing and have been at maintenance for about 3 weeks, but I feel my calories are still too low. I don’t feel hungry, but my strength is slowly improving. Should I continue increasing calories, and if so, when do I stop reverse dieting and start cutting?
If I'm in a calorie deficit and not losing weight on the scale but strength training, am I gaining muscle mass at the same rate I'm losing fat in the episode 980: Five Steps to Your Best Body by Summer and the clip Muscle and Metabolism?
What am I doing wrong if I'm strength training four times a week, eating around 2200 calories and 160 grams of protein, but my smart scale shows that my body fat is gradually going up and my muscle mass is gradually going down over the last month, while my weight remains within the same 5 lbs?
