I just listened to you guys talk about reverse dieting. I'm really active with two physical labor part-time package handler jobs, averaging around 18,000 to 23,000 steps a day, and strength training twice a week with MAPS Anabolic. I'm currently at around 3000 calories, but I feel like I can definitely eat a lot more. Would my goal be to bring it up to 4000 calories a day, and if so, how would I do that?
