DAy 2 of cut. Yesterday was a rest day and this morning was "surge" (endurance weight lifting. So high reps, lower weight, less rest) and I am much hungrier today!!!!! Gonna take some will power to avoid snacking. Yesterday I withstood not hunger but the emotional/hormonal urge to stuff my face lol.
One day at a time.0 -
Hey Ladies! New to the group, so soaking up all the info to get started. Where is this TDEE calculator that I keep reading about?0

On my profile page - Just TDEE Please spreadsheet.
More specific than the TDEE table from 1919 study that doesn't include daily activity only exercise.
You could end up being truly average and right in the middle of the 5 rough ranges to select from - but odds are you won't.
It's a rough starting point though if you understand it's limitations and how to tweak it for actual usage.
Or use the spreadsheet and track your stats too.0 -

So that is going to be a higher calorie burn - so average TDEE will be higher than what you found with a different workout.
That type of workout can be close to jogging 4.6 mph flat.
Prior type more strength training is like walking 3.3 mph for calorie burn.
Now if workouts are only 30 min 3 x weekly - no big deal.
If split routine with 6 x 45 min - big deal.
So could be very good reason to be more hungry, your average TDEE would have gone up by some amount, so bigger deficit should have you hungry.0 -

I move from endurance to hypertrophy to strength and back to endurance again. I've done them all during my reset. So I should be ok? Didn't notice a huge difference during the reset. Thinking maybe i am just used to eating my tdee?0 -
Literal TDEE would have changed (probably) during those different workouts. Unless things balanced out because of shifting sets/reps/exercise done.
Like the endurance phase say had you doing same rep volume but with less sets and exercises to create endurance.
And strength with longer rests and less volume should have burned least, though it could have most repair.0 -

I think I am okay. I'm at a 15% cut and expect my losses to slow after the first week. I think it was mostly water.
I plan on having a tdee day or two after 4 weeks. And after 8 weeks of cutting i will go back to tdee for about 4 weeks. I plan on alternating 8 week cuts during my endurance/hypertrophy lifting phases with 4 weeks at maintenance/strength phase.
