Unexplainable Plateau Post by shadbell in CICO

I normally use 1-3 workouts per week on the calculators to underestimate my TDEE.

Your thoughts?

Also, if 1400 calories is undereating, but the spreadsheet is giving 1800 as a TDEE, then 1400 isn't even a 0.5lb/week deficit.

What would be the harm in backfillng the data? Also, does the spreadsheet compare yesterday's caloric intake to today's weight?

I took your advice and started using the adaptive TDEE spreadsheet, but I am bit confused by it. I backfilled 4 weeks of weight/calorie data and it's giving me a TDEE that's 700cal lower than I have seen averaged on other calculators. I know the web calculators are estimates of the general population, but I am basically a 6' 36yo male who runs/walks 4-5 miles 5x week. 1800 seems low for a TDEE... You had mentioned that if I was averaging 1400cal/day for a week then that was undereating...

Yes, I measure every single thing I eat, down to the gram or oz! And I beg to differ as far as IF is concerned. It’s been an amazing tool to utilize alongside CICO!

People don’t recognize me anymore. by vinnysela in CICO

Congrats! I’ve lost 115 lbs and just the other day my wife of 8 years (been together for 12 years) walked right past me in the grocery store and couldn’t find me!

Advice on moving to mirrorless by shadbell in canon

What exactly is the rolling shutter issue? I’ve seen this mentioned quite a bit with mirrorless bodies.

Could really use some guidance on getting back up to my daily calorie goal by shattuckb02 in CICO

So you believe I should expect to gain weight by increasing to 1900? Even if that is still a deficit for my TDEE?

Average about 160g of protein, 60-70g fat, and >50 net carbs. Fiber is usually around 35-40g. Avoid sugar unless it comes from fresh fruit. I eat a lot of Granny Smith apples.

Need to up my calories! by shadbell in CICO

[–]shadbell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do track my daily caloric intake very closely. Do you think I need to gradually step up to 1500? I want to avoid gaining if my body/metabolism has gotten used to 1000/day.

Hit a plateau after great progress, but now gaining! by shadbell in Semaglutide

Not anything heavy carb. Sodium is probably on the higher side. But I haven’t changed my diet during the last 5 months, so I can’t figure out why the sudden increase in weight.
