oh that makes sense then. You're still eating too low. You're maintanence is determined by your TDEE. You burn calories digesting food, moving around, exercising and your normal BMR. All those things...

how big are you? Are you figuring your maintenance by you BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) or your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure)

How much are you eating now and what is your maintenance? Also how long were you eating at 1000 calories and how long have you been on your current diet

this has proven to be BS. All the matters for losing weight is calories in vs calories out. Meal timing and frequency doesn't matter except for performance or satiety

your TDEE is most likely closer to 2900 than 2200. My TDEE is around 2500 and I'm 5'7 and 146 pounds. I'm pretty active though, but it still shouldn't be above your's. I'm actually cutting right now...

How long have you been dieting and how much weight have you lost so far? You may need a diet break. 850 calorie deficit a day is a lot

I love to add bananas to my oatmeal every morning. I don't even need to add any brown sugar, plus it fills me up for less than 300 calories

thanks for breaking this down. I've been having trouble measuring my chicken as well. I even made the mistake once of measuring some pasta I had after it was cooked lol. I'm so glad I realized I was...

lol that was a good read

Go to the losing fat section and look at the stickied thread called "How to lose fat for Noobs - Part II"

thanks for the update. That's pretty encouraging. I'm 100 calories away from my maintenance and I plan on being there for 2 weeks until I get back to my cut. I hope to get results similar to your's.

eat whatever you want as long as you get the right calories and macros at the end of the day.

Personally though, I prefer oatmeal with a fresh banana or apple slices in it. It's low in calories...

I have to have carbs before I box or I'll feel like absolute crap while on a cut

Personally I like having oatmeal because it's low in calories for the amount it feels me up and then the fiber in it keeps me from craving sweets later on in the day.

look at the metabolic damage thread by the stickies.

yeah you're on a quick course to failure. Read one of the stickies about losing weight for noobs

It can screw you over. I went to my grandma's house for 4 days during Thanksgiving and ate a bunch while there. It sucks too because my metabolism had slowed down some too beforehand

When was your last refeed and what did you have yesterday? it may be water and glycogen

Do you feel it's more effective at burning fat (assuming this isn't the first time you went on a cut)?

how many calories a day are you eating and what macros? I'm like 99% sure you need to increase your food intake especially after cutting for 2 years
