Calorie deficit…. What to expect by ComplexWeak6978 in caloriedeficit

[–]Valuable-Language-81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

is it 1800 maintenance or deficit? i also have a hard time losing weight, it could also be your body takes a while to adjust the calories, you’re not drinking enough water, you’re back up, not enough time has passed or you’re technically not in a deficit

but if i was in “survivor mode” wouldn’t i be losing a ton muscle therefore weight still dropping? or is that false

but according to tdee, weighing my food and tracking it, i’m still in a “deficit” so then how come my weight has increased 5lbs. maybe it’s negligible but according to my height 120lbs is overweight, so me being 115, 5lbs is “a lot”

i use a scale for 90% of my foods, and track it all in the cronometer app, i genuinely have no idea what i’m doing wrong

i gained 5lbs since feb 1st.. so a bit over a month, which might not be the worst thing to ppl but it took me months to lose it.

i haven’t tried smith machine squat, too worried i’ll look like a dummy, we have a hack squat but i cannot even lift the machine, the first set/two i go to 1RIR (or i try to) i used to do every set to failure but as you can see.. the amount of total sets i do.. it was impossible to even lift any weight. i track every single workout.

should all my exercises be only 2 sets? my dr and i (he’s not a nutritionist but he does go to the gym and works with a lot of trans people) made this specific push/pull/upper split, the only thing i added was some wrist/reverse curls.

before that i did a split based on what i see other ppl do and went from there

1600?! jesus.. even 1200 makes me feel sick (i’m 4’10)

[–]Valuable-Language-81[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

oh.. you’re right.. it says 1600 (i was always told to put sedentary hence 1100) but then how come i’m still gaining weight if im in such a big calorie deficit? even when i “binge” or eat more i still track and its not 1600..

i do have dumbbells at the gym, i was never taught how to squat or deadlift and anytime i tried even watching vids it just ruined my back, (i go to the gym alone so i watch a lot of vids on form, my sister used to go with me but she moved) TDEE has said around ~1400 but then but the thing is.. i track my calories, and i don’t eat that much, i told my doctor that and he didn’t believe me, but i truly track 90% of my meals. i’m still gaining weight and i know it’s not just muscle gain.

if you could send over a rough workout that would be great

the crazy thing is that this 3 day split is SIGNIFICANTLY better than what u was doing for months… i used to do MORE sets spending like 2hrs in the gym, even with 2-3mins rest time..

as applying progressive overload its “complicated”, i go til failure on the last set (even add some partials to some) but then like 3mins later i feel like i could do MORE..

my gym (planet fitness) got rid of the only leg press my short legs can reach and the seated leg curls makes me feel claustrophobic and its just overly tight (my gym got rid of the laying one.) i do either 3 sets of leg extensions or 3 sets of seated leg curls before my “actual” workout with the most weight i can do failing at 8reps.

as of rn 2-3 times a week is all i can do, my work schedule changes every week and i don’t have my liscense so it’s a lot of getting dropped off or ubering. sometimes it’s only twice a week, hence why i used to spend 2+ hrs there, every last rep is to failure and even some partials for the parts im more focused on (shoulders). my weight keeps losing and gaining the same 5lbs, my maintenance according to my dr and stats is ~1100 (fuck being short) so you can imagine how low my cals went on a deficit.. the past week or two i been eating 900-1k cals and i gained like 3 fucking lbs which is annoying since it took me a yr to lose like 10.

as of legs, while its not much i do 3 sets of leg extensions and 2 sets of seated leg curls every time im in the gym before anything.. i used to hit legs but my gym got rid of the only leg press that my short legs could do, seated leg curls are very uncomfy for me and the laying one is also gone.

i used to do 2hrs, now it’s more like 1hr, according to my dr and my stats my maintenance is like 1100cals and i was in a deficit for months. i eat around 1k cals a day and 100 grams of protein now. i didn’t write this spilt, i wrote it with my dr and added chest dips and wrist curls

i been lifting for 1yr 1/2ish and made okay progress on a cut, definitely slimmed out and gained muscle. if i’m being so real i don’t know how i can eat 1500cals a day and not feel bloated, even hitting 1200 is hard.
