Hello,

Any ladies out there who calorie cycle week to week?

If so would you be so kind to tell me your pattern and calorie amounts for each day?

    I have been cycling calories for about a month and find it really manageable as it allows flexibility and planning for social events where I might want to eat more, drink or just enjoy indulgent desserts. A typical week looks like this:

    1,350
    1,600
    1,450
    2,100
    1,800
    1,350
    1,600

    This averages out to about 1,607 cals per day. I find it easier to eat less on the days I do cardio, higher cals on heavy lifting days.
