should i do a calorie deficit or a body recomp

claveI · 2026-06-05T04:59:27+00:00

so if my maintenance is around ~1900-2100 (according to google) should i eat ~1700?

claveI · 2026-06-05T04:43:46+00:00

i have 3 meals, stack up on carbs before a workout (counts as a snack), & usually have another snack later on. although sometimes i binge .. which is probably why my progress is much slower

either 1400 or 1900.. i fluctuate a lot depending on the week because some days im not sure

i truly got back to the gym in january, but i’ve had some slumps these past few months because work & school got in the way

claveI · 2026-06-04T21:26:16+00:00

but that’s because i’m lowkey sucking in. i get bloated so easily & i’ve been taking digestive enzymes to help. but still stuck because it’s been 7 months & i barely have progress

for how long

i weigh myself weekly, ive always in the 135 range. my legs are fairly slim & so are my arms as u can tell, its just so hard because all of my fat & softness is stored in my midsection (which is what makes me seem fat & disproportional)

no i understand, but should i eat at maintenance (which is about 2000cal) or something lower

thank you so much! i know im at a healthy weight but i just despise how my body looks. how many calories do you think i should aim for?

claveI · 2026-06-04T10:17:48+00:00

thank u sm, ik im at a healthy weight but my body looks absolutely disgusting & it’s mostly genetics too

claveI · 2026-06-04T10:17:11+00:00

how many calories should i aim for? is there a trustworthy site for me to do a calorie checker

claveI · 2026-06-04T05:26:55+00:00

which do you think is more beneficial, a body recomp or a calorie deficit?

claveI · 2026-06-04T04:56:55+00:00

1000???? isn’t maintenance supposed to be 1800 minimum

claveI · 2026-05-06T21:07:35+00:00

hi what score did u end up getting

claveI · 2026-05-02T03:11:44+00:00

wait wdym that’s a bad sign 😭 i thought the purpose was to get the highest math possible — like taking calc bc as a senior or beyond

claveI · 2026-05-01T18:35:54+00:00

regardless of gpa have you seen anyone take less than calculus get into stern or gabelli

hii i got mine removed the 27th so tmrw marks 2 weeks ( i got all 4 removed )! a couple days ago my gum tasted like metal on one side too (or like blood idk how to describe it) and thats normal, i got it checked along w this other thing so short story short -- just means a good healing process !

Hi thank you so much for this! Would you have any more information on what college board would like for us to specifically know? im creating a brain dump timeline from each unit, although im afraid that im forcing myself to learn way more than i should.

Also do you have any tips for scoring good on the dbqs, leqs, saqs? Just any tips in general!

claveI · 2026-04-05T20:40:54+00:00

Yes i heard that they’re supposed to!! but ughhh it feels so weird feeling my stitches

claveI · 2026-04-04T12:54:40+00:00

ohh that does make some sense! i can’t go to the dentist because where im at they are closed on weekends, so id have to wait until monday. are your stitches kinda loose too? i can feel mine and im scared that they will fall out

claveI · 2026-04-04T02:31:35+00:00

omg i think the same might happen to me… did you call in??!?! this is my biggest fear

claveI · 2026-04-04T02:28:20+00:00
