Hey all,
so a friend suggested calorie cycling to break my plateau. What do you guys think? I hear there is little scientific evidence that it is better than reg calorie deficit but I need to get out of this rut!
Thanks!

Spiking, which is a form of calorie cycling but includes one very large calorie day, broke a six month plateau for me.0
