[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have a way to track calories burned? Try being on a few hundred under that and eat a lot of protein and start lifting weights and cut down on cardio.

I lift weights 5 days a week. I track via my watch. I got my macros from a trainer. They calculated my deficit for 1lb a week at 1450 calories. I’m eating 1200 but have lost about 1lb a week, so I’m only off by 3lb. Maybe I’ve gained muscle? My clothes are looser. I’m just remarking how swiftly my friend shed so many pounds! [/quote]

She must have done some carb restriction type diet and lost a lot of water. Your rate of weight loss does not seem terrible but I would be also frustrated if I could only eat 1200 calories to achieve that. You might be actually be experiencing some water retention and your overall fat loss might be higher. You definitely did not gain muscle eating 1200 calories and only doing cardio. [/quote]

Yeah people trying to really gain muscle are not in much deficit.

Honestly if I was paying someone to figure out the details, I’d do what they say and not cheat yourself of those 200 calories. [/quote]
