[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all your replies. This all makes sense - the overestimation of burn and underestimation of intake. My goal is to lose the last 10 lbs of baby weight. Sounds like if I’m super careful, I CAN eat back some exercise calories within moderation. [/quote] The last 10 pounds are the hardest to lose. It’s a very small margin for error. Eat back a few calories if you need to, but your best off not. If you keep a 500 calorie deficit per day, you should be losing a pound per week (3,500 calories=1lb). That would be 2.5 months. If you only had a 250 calorie deficit, you’d need at minimum 5 months, BUT the longer you diet, the slower your metabolism becomes as it adapts to running on less. Most people are successful at dieting for 3 months, maintaining weight for 6 weeks, then dieting another 3 months (repeat as necessary).[/quote]
