How do I know if I'm actually on a calorie deficit? I feel like I'm not.
>>74763798>weigh yourself twice a day for 2 weeks. Is your weight trending up or down?
Easy, there is this thing called neat, Non-exercise activity thermogenesis this is the first thing you body shots down in a caloric deficit. It means that you won't be the first one to answer the door or you won't stand up as much as you used to, etc, basically you will be much lazier, and it's not intentional, your brain does it unconsciously.
>>74763798TDEE is a lie you only actually need like 1000 cals a day unless you body is shit because of poor gut and cell health, try eating just 500 cals.
>>74763816/threadI never track my calories, i only check if the weight goes up or down
>>74763848That's what I've been thinking too. I eat about 2000 calories and do 30 of cardio 5 times a week and haven't lost any weight.
>>74763816Once after waking up/taking a shit, once before going to sleep.
>>74763798Just estimate your calorie burn everyday and eat no more than half that
When you go to bed are you slightly hungry? No? Then cut more calories.
