Okay. I'm very confused.
I've been eating at TDEE of 2480 (occasionally 100-200 over that) for a full 6 weeks. During that time, in the first week and a half my weight jumped up from pre-reset weight of 77.8kg to about 79.5kg. Over the past 3 weeks my weight has stabilized to 79 - 79.2. This made me think that I was eating my actual TDEE and maintaining.
HOWEVER - I weighed in today at 78.4kg! A loss out of nowhere?? I lifted heavy on Thursday and have done a lot of walking this week, but this week I haven't exercised as much or as intensely as I usually do.
What's going on? Any advice?

Hi there!
Well maybe you are not eating at your TDEE after all, but below:)0 -
Thanks for the reply Noor
I'm just thinking - im still 0.6kg heavier than pre-reset - so do you think I should continue with my TDEE as is or increase for the final 2 weeks of my reset? If I finish my reset and am at the same weight (or only half a kilo or so heavier) maybe that just means I've lost the bloat/water weight that I held onto for the first 5 weeks of reset? Thoughts?0 -
If you are still above your reset weight then I would not bump up the calories. You gained at first which was likely water weight and now you are stabilizing. To me, it sounds like you found your TDEE.0

I'm in the same situation....I'm only starting the 4th week of my reset, but my weight hasn't really moved significantly. I've gained and lost the same 3 lbs every few days. Right now I'm sitting at 1/2 lb above my starting weight. I'm guessing it's just water weight, and that a lot of the early weight gain (I gained the first 3 lbs in the first 4 days of reset) was due to my body trying to figure out how to process all this food efficiently. I was putting much more food into my digestive tract than my body was used to.
I wouldn't worry if I were you....just keep trucking along for the last few weeks of your reset. 0
