    I guess the big problem with inconsistency is that it makes it difficult to track things. Some days you will go way under BMR, some others you will go way over your TDEE. If this becomes a daily thing, the body will not like it. If this only happens every now and then, the body will readjust (sickness, big eating/drinking weekend, etc.)

    Consistency is a big deal. Not only physically, but mentally as you get going on your weight loss journey, Some may disagree, but it will be easier to have some momentum behind you if you stay consistent. It is much easier to fall off the band wagon and fall into this on again, off again mentality if your eating 4000 calories one day and 1200 the next.
    I know in my personal experience (as well as many of those in this group) that there will be fewer weight fluctuations (from water) if you keep your calories consistent,
    For us as women, we have enough water weight fluctuations as it is, we don't need any help in that department,
    Your calorie goal of 2300-2700 sounds great. The bottom line is pick a calorie goal and stick to it. It's hard to know if you're making any real progress, or the reason for it, unless you remain consistent.
    It sounds like you did a great job of staying consistent throughout your reset, and you have a great idea of what maintenance looks like.
    Keep us posted on your progress!

    If I ate 1200cals one day and 3000 the next, my body wouldn't know what to do,

    Yes it would. You body stores energy for later use quite easily.

    Ok well I 100% know that that's not how my body works, and I was talking from personal experience.

    So what does your body do with extra calories?

    My body likes to store fat if I don't eat with consistency, seeing as how being INCONSISTENT with my eating is how I got to 227lbs

    Body fat is stored energy

    You know, there are people that have opinions and that is fine and all, however many tend not to participate in some of the other forums, groups etc because the vibe just isn't cool. If you don't agree with the EM2WL views, concepts, practices etc...that is ok, but don't come on our boards to debate, refute or undermine what we are teaching. People are here for a reason....they will be treated with respect, will not be responded to in a condesceding and/or demeaning manner ever.

    This string right here is reminiscent of that which I don't like to see...I don't mind people sharing views and opinions, but to go through the threads to refute what our beliefs are...not acceptable.
