figured it out. It’s a checkbox that you have to do manually. It’s off by default.

damn man, sure seems like you should have lost more.

There’s a lot of terrible advice and math in here.

I think my plan is fine - I've hit an early wall for some reason. I'm joining a gym again in May.

well call it out wimp. :harumph:

I had a double burger, tots, and a milkshake. Shit was cash!

get back to me when it’s a triple cheeseburger. ****ing amateurs everywhere. :D

This guy is full of shit you’ll get fat as **** eating 3000 cal a day

you lost weight and kept it off. Is the correct multiplier for general ballpark number X10?

LMAO

Obviously each body is different when it comes to calorie consumption. The more muscle mass you have, the more calories are needed to maintain that muscle. To say someone at 225lbs eating 3,000 cals would gain an exponential amount of weight is not true unless we know more information about that particular body itself.

Personally my maintenance is right around 2,300. I like to basically eat healthy during the week at around 1,700 cals. Then on weekends I'll eat and drink whatever I want.

I did this for 5 months at one point and went from 200lbs down to 160lbs.

The bump in cals on weekends was enough to help reset my metabolism and hormones that were being brought down during the week.

Anyone who thinks they can cut strictly and lose weight over a long period of time without a few cheat days is kidding themselves. Cheat days are necessary towards kicking your hormones back into place when you're on a cut.

If you don't do this, you'll be looking at the scale and wondering why it isn't moving. Your body goes into a starvation type of mode after a long cut and it begins to hold onto fat because it thinks you're starving. You'll feel weak and lethargic.

Are you logging the exercise? Mine shows up as soon as I log it regardless. Even if I ate 0 calories in a day it would show up.

Great. Scratch my previous msg.

It seemed really high to me. Everything else I've seen has said, for me, my maintenance is somewhere between 2,400-2,600.

This. This is the bad math. Unless you burn a shit ton of calories a day, most males don’t need 3000 calories a day to maintain. It’s quite a bit less.
