[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn’t sound like you have enough of a calorie deficit.  [/quote]
I’m very tall. I should be eating more even, but I cheat myself about 250 cal in an attempt to lose more.[/quote]

….and your aren’t in enough of a calorie deficit.  Doesn’t matter how many calories you think need based on whatever calculations you are using, and how many calories you think you are burning.   They are wrong.  The scale tells the truth [/quote]
And I’m losing weight. I don’t get your point? [/quote]

So then what is your question? Didn’t you post because you are discouraged you aren’t losing weight at a faster rate? If so, you need less calories.  If you don’t want to do that, then keep doing what you are doing[/quote]
I answered above but the QUESTION is literally in the last paragraph of the post. [/quote]

Comparing yourself to others is useless unless you're looking to be frustrated. You're also not following what your coach prescribed because of your impatience. You could be correct at first that you will lose quicker, but that isn't the point of tracking macros. It's to reach your goal in the LEAST restrictive way possible. If you start with the most restrictive you don't leave room for downward trending if you need to progress more. And you're also more miserable doing it. Macro counting works. Don't try to outsmart your coach. Or do what you want and don't be surprised when it doesn't work or it does but you're absolutely miserable and feel like it isn't worth it. If you're counting macros properly you shouldn't feel hardly restricted at all. It's a great way to recomp your body and still eat. Not just for trying to lose weight (unless you are obese to begin with). [/quote]
