I'm currently set for -500 cal deficit for 1lb a week. I've lost 39lbs so far and I have about 15lbs to go. Should I shrink my deficit to -250, or wait until I get to 10lbs left?

I, personally, would do it now. It helps you coast into maintenance easier.3

I reassess my calories with every ten pounds of loss.1

If you're happy with your cals then I'd stay where I was till the last 103

There's a lot of personal preference here. At some point, you have to balance ideals with your own sanity and preferences.0

Funny. Three different people, three different ideas. Do what you think would work best for you, OP.5 -
