This weekend was just bad in terms of eating, went to the sushi buffet last night, didn't over do it but I shared ice cream and cake with my sister, today i told myself I'd have a low carb day but gave in and had some fruit salad and chocolate cake.. ugh, hopefully this doesnt affect me too much. I've been maintaining my weight for about 3 weeks now and I seem to only have gained a pound even after stopping my exercise and having multiple cheat meals a week... I've been told to stop exercising and to eat more because I have an anorexic mentality. I just don't wanna gain any weight back :(

    What?!

    Eat, workout, rinse and repeat.
    Eat TDEE or around there every day.
    Workout 2-3x a week and only for about an hour.

    Thats how you maintain.

    Okay then never mind.
    Keep in mind that in order to maintain what you have youll need ot use it.
    So at least 2 sessions a week to maintain lean mass.
    If you dont then youll lose it.
    you may not get fat but....*shrugs*

    If it was me id lift weights 3x a week for 30mins to an hour and eat TDEE daily.
    Put those nutrients to work.
