How do you determine how long to spend trying to build muscle if my current maintenance calories are 1200 after gastric bypass surgery eight years ago, the calculator says my maintenance should be 1700, but I still need to lose 50 pounds and keep gaining weight when I increase calories past 1250?
Is it possible that I'm eating too little? Should I eat more now that I have started anabolic training, or should I stick to a deficit? I'm just a little afraid of getting much heavier.
I'm considering an 800-calorie diet like David Goggins. Currently, I am at 1400 calories, but after losing my first 30 lbs, I wasn't seeing any more progress, so I went down to a 1200-calorie diet and maintained it for about 6 months, doing 45 minutes of Burn Boot Camp 5 days per week. However, there was no weight loss on the scale at all—just fluctuations of ±6 lbs from day to day. I've kept the 30 lbs off for over a year, but I'm not moving and have not been for the past 6 months. I have PCOS, or what health professionals refer to as a form of PCOS, so I have had no luck losing weight. I was hoping to find insight or recommendations to step it up.
