Hi everyone. I'm just looking to write this down so it's clear in my head haha I've never done calorie cycling before. I've lost 11lbs so far by eating 1200 cals a day and excercising 3x a week. I want to start upping my cals whilst also trying this carb cycling to try and stop myself getting stuck on a weight plateau which I think will happen very soon!
Looking on various websites I've worked out my TDEE is 1818 cals/ day so to lose a lb a week I need to eat roughly 1300 cals/ day. Great an extra 100 cals! I've set out a plan below for the cycling part
Mon: 1200
Tues: 1350
Wed: 1300
Thurs: 1200
Fri: 1350
Sat: 1400
Sun: 1300
This works out 9100 cals/ week so roughly 3500 less that my TDEE
Does this sound like it will work or have I just taken the concept completely wrong?
Can anyone tell me how they get on cycling their calories? Does it make a difference to your weight loss progress or just help you stick to it with the extra cals every other day?
Thanks
