MassarDv

Say if I started my plan @ 170 pounds and after 1 week my weight is 165 pound ,do I need to go Tdee calculator again and readjust body weight as I will be now 165 pounds and get the new maintenance calories and fat burning deficit .
Also do I need to keep doing this every week ?

First of all, for a more accurate reading, you should weigh yourself every morning before eating and after going to the bathroom. After 7 days, you add all your weighins and divide it by 7. That will be your average weight for the week. You then compare with your previous average weight weeks, are you losing weight too fast after 3 weeks(average of 1 lb or more per week)???? That means you're losing weight too fast and you may need to increase your calories by 100 or 200....are you around the same weight after 3 weeks of weighing yourself??? That means you're at maintenance and you should decrease your calories by 200 and see the next 3 weeks how that goes. If you gained weight, well you're at a surplus, you should decrease it by 300-500 (depending how big the weight increase was) and see how your body reacts after 3 weeks. Last thing you want is to change your calories each week.

I adjust my calorie goal usually after 5-10 kg weight drop but not more often than once a month, and usually not even that often.
