Related Questions
If I cut my caloric intake from 2900 to 2800 calories, can I maintain my weight at 2800 calories if I feel comfortable with that amount of food consumption? Will I be in a deficit then, or will my metabolism adjust to 2800 and that become my new maintenance level, meaning I will no longer be in a deficit?
How much of a caloric deficit is too much?
Based on the Hardgainers Guide, is it okay to use my metabolic rate (approximately 1,700 calories) from an in-body scan as my baseline for adding the 1,000 calories? Just about 2,000 calories keeps me at my current weight of approximately 155lbs. Should I go for 3,000 or 2,700 calories?
