I'm a 5ft 7in female at 120 pounds consuming 3000 calories as my maintenance. I was consuming 2900 calories at 124 pounds. I've lost 4 pounds by bumping my calories by 100 calories. I now want to go back to 2900 calories and maintain my weight there. Will I lose weight by dropping calories back to 2900? What do I do if I don't want to weigh less than 120 pounds? Why is my metabolism so fast that I can't keep up with the amount of food to sustain 120 pounds?
Am I on the right track if I keep bumping my calories by 100 until I hit 3300 calories, and then cut back 100 calories every three weeks to make my new maintenance level 3000 calories, if I'm currently at 2900 calories, have lost 2 pounds, and my muscles look more defined while reverse dieting from 2800 calories to 3300 calories?
