Am I on the right track if I'm doing a reverse diet from 2800 calories to 3300 calories, currently at 2900 calories, have lost 2 pounds while my muscles look more defined, and plan to keep bumping calories by 100 until I hit 3300 calories, then cut back 100 calories every three weeks to make my new maintenance level 3000 calories?
If I'm doing a reverse diet from 2800 calories to 3300 calories and I'm currently at 2900 calories but have actually lost 2 pounds while my muscles look more defined, am I on the right track if I keep bumping 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?
I'm a 45-year-old male, 221.2 lbs, and 20% body fat. My goal is to reach 180-185 lbs and 13-15% body fat. I've been reverse dieting for 2 months and am currently eating 2800 calories, up from 2400 calories, with 180-200 grams of protein. I'm strength training 4 days a week and walking 8-10k steps a day. My weight is staying the same, but I'm getting stronger. When should I start to lean down or start cutting calories?
