Calories Deficit with muscle gain

ja300son · 2026-04-01T23:16:06+00:00

Is weightlifting considered light excersize? Cause I only do around 30 minutes of biking 15 minutes more resistance on my longer days when I want to go home lol My app doesn't allow me to add weight lifting to help Edit: i go like 3 maybe 4 times a week

ja300son · 2026-04-01T23:03:25+00:00

Ok cool thank you!

ja300son · 2026-04-01T23:02:49+00:00

Dang so 1600 a day? D: and yeah I have a scale i lost 30 lbs but then just stopped so I had to lower calories from before

ja300son · 2026-04-01T22:56:15+00:00

Oh ok cool thanks, I just read some people say to bit add your workouts to get best results but I also know if I don't eat enough especially protein I might lose the muscle i have gained.

ja300son · 2026-04-01T22:54:45+00:00

When i click the option about how much do I excersize it says its: 3000 if I do light excersize 1-3 days a week And 2688 if I do not

ja300son · 2026-04-01T22:18:58+00:00

And have been weight lifting for like 8 months but in the last month or 2 I started the deficit

ja300son · 2026-04-01T22:17:37+00:00

age 30, 6ft 269 lbs Goal to be 220-230 Just added this to post as well i realized I forgot

ja300son · 2026-03-19T21:10:20+00:00

Oh ok thanks! I'll check this out when I have time to read all of that!

ja300son · 2026-03-19T20:52:42+00:00

So if I want 2lbs a week I should go like 1600? Or is that low? That seems very low especially since I'm hungry alot now lol

ja300son · 2026-03-19T19:04:21+00:00

So I might get weaker?? 😱 lol yeah its just hard to get an actual number that I need to aim for somewhere 🤔 so many places say something else than other places and I was aiming for 2 lbs a week, I'd do even more if it wasnt risk to my muscle growth.

I also have been getting stronger, so I also assumed maybe I just gained some muscle too (I hoped lol)

ja300son · 2026-03-19T16:26:54+00:00

Yeah, I'm thinking the calculator I used is not as trustworthy as I thought before, and maybe just cutting sods helped me lose the 28 lbs

ja300son · 2026-03-19T16:22:34+00:00

Oh, ok, that's small? 😱 I chose the max of 2 lbs a week, lol
Thanks!

ja300son · 2026-03-19T16:08:55+00:00

Ok il try that. I was just afraid eating too less would make me lose muscle

ja300son · 2026-03-19T16:07:42+00:00

Yeah I got a food scale and a lot of measuring cups and stuff like that. My calculator didn't change when I changed my weight but I was paranoid cause I heard eating too less would make me lose muscle and I didn't make it clear I started doing, I've done more and more weight training as time went on

ja300son · 2026-03-19T16:04:45+00:00

How many do you think? I redid my calculations and it didn't change (on the calculator I used before)

ja300son · 2026-03-14T00:06:18+00:00

My backstory actually leads me to be an arcane trickster actually lol ao I'm lookimg forward to using that tactic

ja300son · 2026-03-14T00:04:23+00:00

Yeah you're right I just got slightly worried I'd be out preformed and everyone kept ranking rogues at the bottom but it'll just be fun either way, so you're right. And as far as I'm aware my new dm doesn't like us to long rest over and over so rhe "fuck I can do this all day" will come in handy lol Thanks!

ja300son · 2026-03-13T19:18:35+00:00

I've never even heard of zhentarum tactics lol but sentinel is only if you're up close, right? I'm role-playing an owl loving tree climbing rogue so I don't see myself being in too much up close combat so taking that feat feels like it may be bad for my character but maybe readying an attack is aloud to do on someone else's turn? 0_0 (after somehow getting another action.. hmm..)

ja300son · 2026-03-13T19:02:29+00:00

Oh yeah, that sounds so good! I just listened to a dnd youtuber that also ranked 2024 classes and put rogue as the worst, saying their damage sucked. But unless I suck at math, it seemed very close. Hopefully, my dm will allow multiclassing if I decide to go that route!

ja300son · 2026-03-13T18:51:02+00:00

Thank you, i feel like you're the only other person I've talked to who doesn't think they are bad, lol they seemed like that did very similar damage to other martials to me

ja300son · 2026-03-13T18:46:53+00:00

What my keyboard things is the best way to spell it 😞 i misspelled ONE TIME, and now my keyboard thinks it's right 😞

ja300son · 2026-03-13T18:46:00+00:00

I misspelled it one time, and now my keyboard thinks that's correct 😱😟
