anyone put on weight after going onto 'maintain' cal allowen

ccclay

So I've reached my goal weight and I wasn't sure whether to keep on the 'lose weight' cal allowence (only quite low at 1/2lb weight loss per week) or to go onto 'maintain', as I'm worried that I'll put weight on?!

Any insights or advice out there?

Thanks in advance!:happy:

Um. It shouldn't be that much different. 200-300 calories. Unless ou want to continue to lose, you must eat more.


Try it for a month. Adjust as necessary.

I would manually change my calories up by 50 every 5 -7 days until you are at maintenance calories or you may see a temporary but discouraging gain. If you understand that a slight gain is normal and temporary and won't be discouraged then go straight to maintenance
