[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re eating your calories back. Not surprising. Your brain/body are naturally going to signal that. It’s called calorie compensation. [/quote]
What do you mean? I’m also eating in a deficit. I thought I mentioned that but now I see I did not. [/quote]

Food scale for every bite during the time period you’re weighing? No eating out or coffee drinks not made by yourself with precise measurement?[/quote]
I don’t weigh food but I use measuring cups. I’m eating the most boring diet of mostly protein and veggies and wheat-free carbs. I track macros.[/quote]

Use a scale instead. The difference is enough to explain your experience. Food settles in a way that can make cup measurements off by 30%. Plus I’m sure you’re not putting your proteins in a cup. You’re probably off there too. [/quote]
I understand what you’re saying, but there is no way I ate an extra 10,500 calories in a week. Just no way! This has to be something other than a couple extra ounces of brown rice and chicken breast. [/quote]

No it’s probably that you’re eating maintenance calories unknowingly plus retaining more water due to your workouts. [/quote]
I’m eating 1200 calories a day. Definitely not maintaining. I’ll even give you 1000 “extra” calories and that’s still a deficit. Plus I’m burning during intense workouts. It just doesn’t make sense! [/quote]

Are you really eating 1200 cal? and doing this 7 days a week, no exceptions? 1200 cal is hard and not very sustainable. most people can't stick to this for more than a few days. [/quote]
