This is a great article on the basics. It notes many important factors that bear repeating.
Why it is important to keep protein levels high
Higher deficits for high body fat percent, lower deficits for leaner people to avoid lean mass loss
Why the 1200 and 1800 calorie thresholds exist and who they apply to (and truthfully, if a woman's TDEE is below 2100, then she is probably already very lean and shouldn't cut that much anyway, see point above)
And why people stall out.
Thanks for posting.0 -

What is the best way to figure my maintenance calories?0

What is the best way to figure my maintenance calories?
Estimate, then adjust as needed. But always better, as article shows, to err on the high side first.
Use and TDEE calculators?
True, only 5 levels and not clear where increased daily activity goes, but a start.
Or check my profile page.0 -
Pretty much just a really long-winded analysis of what is touted around these forums day in and day out. Get your brotein in, eat at a moderate deficit. Larger people with more to lose can have bigger deficits, smaller people with less to lose should have smaller deficits. Done deal, very simple.
but but but what about the cleanses, and ketones..?????0 -
bump for later. Thanks for posting the full text0
