I don’t know how to calculate my TDEE when one day I ride 6 miles, and another, I ride 2.

I honestly have no idea how people got cut before them.

The question I have is what if my TDEE wildly changes every day?

Okay….

So I got a full time job as a delivery bicyclist for Jimmy John’s.

I applied for the position to help me burn off excess fat.

So before I started working, my diet and macros were pretty well...

Dammit. Okay, But how am I supposed to accurately determine a calorie target?? I have no idea how to determine that, especially when my body reacts unpredictably to different calorie intakes. It...

Yeah, that makes sense, kinda. But also, it is super weird that I am on a super low cal cut for months, like 14-1500 cals a day on average, and I look dopey. Then I decide to raise my cals...

I don’t even know what my maintenance calories are anymore. I decided to start eating until I was full. So I ate 2400 cals a few days ago. Then I ate 2800-2900 cals yesterday and the day before, and...

Hi, I have another noobish question. So I am inching myself back up towards a lighter cut, or even maintenance. I’m still figuring that out precisely, but I think that given the math, it’s ATLEAST...

141 lbs 5ft, 9”

What makes you think that?

Either way, I was on a 625 cal deficit, right?

I’m not sure I’m doing the math right. So based on my last weighings, I lost about 5 pounds in the past 4 weeks. So that would mean that I had a 625 calorie deficit per day? So if I add 625 to my...

So since I was cutting at 1400 cals a day, I kept 160 g protein to help preserve muscle. If I were to maintain, I would just stick to 1g/1lb so 141g protein. On a bulk, I feel like I could...

That makes sense. I was taking in 1500 cals for months, and then only 1400 cals for the past month. I always made sure I was in protein surplus though. I averaged about 160g of protein a day.

Now...

I weigh 141 lbs, 5ft 9” tall.

Back Squat: 150 lbs (3x5)
RDL: 165 lbs (3x8)
Dumbell chest press: 47.5 each hand (3x5)
Front Squat: 105 lbs (3x5) weak, I know.
Dumbell Shoulder Press: 37.5 each...

I’m not deadset on anything. If I was, I wouldn’t be asking questions here. All it would take is one or two people saying that this is a bad idea for me to dismiss said idea: ergo, me asking the...

Okay, I guess I’ll start with 1700-1900 cals as a target window, and go from there.

Although yesterday, I put in extra effort in the gym to go until failure, and last night I became so famished...

Nope, I don’t. I’ve been doing a pretty severe cut for the past few months where I’ve been taking in 1400 cals a day, so I don’t know what my maintenance TDEE is. I’m thinking it could be 1900, or it...

Not new to calories, just the first time I’m trying to carefully eat at maintenance. I’ve been cutting for a long while, and did so extreme. Now I’m trying to be very precise. I just need a good...
