[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, there is a lady 5'7 185 plateauing on 1200 (still on this page) Is she undercounting her calories by roughly 60-70% ( you said 1800 is deficit for 5'7 190, so I assume no deficit means 2000) or she is in starvation mode? What's your advice for her?[/quote] DP, but I’d advise her to increase her calories for a few days, and then go back to measuring her 1200. It’s easy to get complacent and start eyeballing you’re amounts. You also don’t know where her deficit is, or how much it is, which is why another PP mentioned that it’s very hard to calculate calories out. But let’s be realistic - she’s been at the same weight for only 2 weeks, after losing. That’s a plateau, and not unexpected in a weight loss journey. 2 weeks of “gain” can be hormonal weight, retained water due to DOMS (she did say she is lifting heavier and adding in more cardio, both of which can increase weight at first). Weight loss is not always linear. [/quote]
